Categories     Dessert     Ingredient     Cake

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (chopped)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until melted. (Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it could seize.) Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium for about 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat for about 15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
  • Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl.
  • Stir the sifted confectioners' sugar into the melted butter and chocolate. Beat the mixture, adding small amounts of boiling water until thinned as desired. If you happen to find it too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more hot water.
  • Slowly drizzle the chocolate glaze from the pot or bowl over your cooled, finish baked good. If desired, use a spatula to evenly distribute. How long the glaze will take to harden will depend on both the temperature of the glaze and the room. Once cool, it will harden.

Time 8m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Spray a medium microwave-safe bowl with non-stick spray and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk; blend together. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; blend into the mixture until smooth. Pour into greased bowl.
  • Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Since all microwaves cook differently, adjust the cooking time to accommodate your machine. To serve, let the cake cool five minutes, then cover the bowl with a plate and turn both bowl and plate upside down so the cake falls onto the plate.

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE ORANGE RAISIN CAKES WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Categories     Cake     Microwave     Chocolate     Dessert     Quick & Easy     Raisin     Triple Sec     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the cake
2 tablespoons raisins, chopped
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten lightly
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
For the glaze
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into bits

Steps:

  • Make the cake:
  • Line the bottoms of two 1-cup microwave-safe ramekins with wax paper and fasten a wax paper collar 2 inches high around each ramekin. In a microwave-safe measuring cup stir together the raisins and the Grand Marnier and microwave the mixture at high power (100%) for 1 minute. In a bowl whisk together the brown sugar and the oil and whisk in the egg, the milk, the flour, the cocoa powder, the cinnamon, the baking soda, and the salt. Stir in the raisin mixture, combine the batter well, and divide it between the ramekins. Microwave the cakes at medium power (50%) for 2 minutes. Let the cakes stand on a rack for 5 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges of the ramekins, invert the cakes onto the rack, removing the wax paper carefully, and let them cool slightly.
  • Make the glaze:
  • In a 1-pint microwave-safe glass measure combine the cream, the butter, the chocolate, and a pinch of salt, microwave the mixture at high power (100%) for 1 minute, or until the cream comes to a boil, and stir it until it is smooth.
  • Set the rack with the cakes over a baking sheet and pour the glaze over the cakes, spreading it as necessary to coat the tops and sides.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and lump-free glaze, ensure the chocolate and cream are finely chopped before melting them together.
  • Use a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to accommodate the chocolate mixture without overflowing.
  • Microwave the chocolate mixture in short intervals, stirring in between, to prevent scorching.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream and microwave for a few more seconds until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the glaze is too thin, place it back in the microwave for a few more seconds, stirring in between, until it thickens.
  • Use the chocolate glaze immediately after preparing it, as it will start to set and harden as it cools.

Conclusion:

Creating a rich and glossy chocolate glaze in the microwave is a quick and effortless process that yields professional-looking results. Whether drizzled over cakes, cupcakes, or pastries, or used as a dip for fruits and cookies, this versatile glaze adds a touch of elegance and indulgence to any dessert. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can elevate your desserts to the next level.
