Steps:
- In a microwave-safe 2-cup measure, stir together a heaping 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla. Stir till smooth.
- Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, and 3 tablespoons hot or cold coffee. Pour into the cup.
- Gently swirl it in; don't mix thoroughly.
- Cook in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending how powerful your microwave is. When done, it'll look set on top, and kind of mushy around the edges.
- Turn the cake onto a plate. It'll be layered with... well, let's call it sauce. It's actually semi-baked batter, but since there are no eggs in here, it's fine.
Tips:
- Prepare all ingredients beforehand: Mise en place is key to successful baking. Make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go before you start mixing.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients combine more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter. For best results, take your eggs and butter out of the fridge about 30 minutes before baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall. If you need to check on the cake, do so by looking through the oven window.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you're sure to create a delicious and impressive 5-minute chocolate cake that will be enjoyed by all. This cake is perfect for busy weeknights or when you're short on time. It's also a great recipe to involve kids in, as they can help with measuring ingredients and mixing the batter. So next time you're craving a chocolate fix, give this 5-minute chocolate cake a try.
