5-Minute Microwave Chocolate Cake

🍫 Pietra's 5-Minute Microwave Chocolate Cake (Ep. 47)

This time, we're with Pietra (@pietrabialeski) to make a recipe that's perfect for whenever a chocolate cake craving hits! 🍫❤️

A microwave chocolate cake, super quick and easy to make — ready in under 5 minutes! ⏱️😋

Ingredients

• 🥚 1 egg
• 🫒 2 tablespoons oil
• 🥛 4 tablespoons milk
• 🍬 4 tablespoons sugar
• 🍫 4 tablespoons Nescau (chocolate drink powder), sifted
• 🌾 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
• 🥄 ½ tablespoon baking powder
• 🍫 To finish: melted chocolate and plenty of chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the egg, oil, and milk.
2. Add the sugar and mix well.
3. Sift the Nescau in — this keeps the batter lump-free — and stir to combine.
4. Sift in the flour too and mix until smooth and even.
5. Add the baking powder last, stirring just until combined — don't overmix.
6. Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish, leaving room at the top — it rises a lot.
7. Microwave for about 3 minutes. If the center still looks undercooked, add 30 more seconds — timing varies by microwave wattage.
8. For the topping (optional), melt chopped chocolate with a splash of milk in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds so it doesn't burn.
9. Unmold the cake, pour the chocolate over the top, and finish with plenty of sprinkles.

Tip: sifting the Nescau and flour before mixing keeps the batter smooth — this recipe needs no mixer or blender, just a bowl and a spoon.
