2 minutes to prepare, 2 minutes to microwave!
Ingredients
1/4 cup (40g) self-raising flour
1/4 cup (60g) caster sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp (60ml) water
1/2 tsp icing sugar (to sprinkle on top)
ice cream (optional)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
1. Add flour to the cup.
2. Add sugar to the cup.
3. Add cocoa to the cup.
4. Add oil to the cup.
5. Add water to the cup.
6. Mix all together until you have a smooth mixture.
7. Place into the microwave on high for 1 min 40 seconds.
8. Dust with a little icing sugar and EAT!
Review
I added 1 tsp of vanilla, pinch of salt, and used 1/4 cup flour with 1 tsp baking soda. The taste of the baking soda was quite obvious, so next time I really might have to use self-raising flour.
Next time, I might try using milk instead of water too.
Microwaved 1 minute on 100% power
: This results in a good fudgey texture, although the result isn't a very elegantly risen top. Instead, it was uneven in areas.
Microwaved 1 min 10 seconds on 70% power
: The top is more evenly risen, and still fudgey, although I am a tiny bit concerned that the bottom may not be cooked through (using a skewer) so I thought I'd put it in for a bit longer.
Microwaved 1 min 25 seconds on 70% power
: The look didn't change much, but it became much drier inside but was cooked all the way though time time.
: Perhaps a good compromise with the previous would thus be 1 min 20 seconds on 70% power.
: Will try more power settings next time.
