sylent 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) The most dangerous cake in the world.1 Coffee Mug4 tablespoons flour (that's plain flour, not self-rising)4 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons baking cocoa1 egg3 tablespoons milk3 tablespoons oil3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)Small splash of vanillaAdd dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.Add the egg and mix thoroughly.Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake -- any time, day or night!

A200 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 I have never made a cake by microwaving it... are you sure this will work? Wouldn't it just heat the mixture, not bake it?If it works, I have to try it some day.A200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sylent 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 I have never made a cake by microwaving it... are you sure this will work? Wouldn't it just heat the mixture, not bake it?If it works, I have to try it some day.A200 Oh yeah, it works nicely .. just dont over cook it or it gets rubbery and eventually hard really fast.A microwave vibrates the liquid molecules causing friction, thus generating heat throughout the product.Whereas a convection oven heats from the outside inward, but its the heating of the ingredients which cause the "chemical reaction" and rising etc. of the cake either way. lolI dont think it would work well for a full-size cake, because by the time part of it got done, the rest would still be doughy, due to the reduced cooking time, but because it is a small amount it does a pretty good job of it.I do like the crispy edges of conventional cakes cooked in a convection oven, and this method does not do that .. but it's still good.

niklophiliac 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 lolI tried it out, easier than i expected...it wasnt too rubbery and it didnt rise much. Did i do something wrong?The taste seems ok though- maybe a little less sugar but a decent results... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moutonoir 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2008 What a great idea...it's like those little microwavable cakes they sell, but this would probably be a lot cheaper and you can make the exact flavor you want. I will definitely be trying this next time I want cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 It works.Chocolate Mug Cake In 5 Min.Yes, it works. I am having some now. I had to try it ...I happened to have all the ingredients except the milk so I substituted 3 tablespoons of cinnamon vanilla liquid coffee creamer. I also added pecans...It's wonderful. Enough for 2 servings.-reply by Tina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
