It REALLY DOES bake in 3 minutes in your microwave. Wow! Really tastes awesome.
One-Cup Cake Recipe
Serving size: 1-2 per person
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tbsp Sugar or 1 tbsp Stevia
Sugar Exchange Stevia Chart
2 tbsp cocoa
3 tbsp chocolate chips
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp oil canola
3/4 cup boiling water
Mix dry ingredients (including chocolate chips) in mixing bowl and stir. In separate small bowl (I used glass measuring 1-cup) the milk, oil and egg; and stir with fork. Mix liquids with dry ingredients. Add the boiling water a little at a time until well mixed.
Pour into one large cup; or 2 to 4 standard-size coffee cups; or 2 cereal bowls.
IMPORTANT! Set one at a time in microwave and cook each cup or bowl for three minutes.
Cake might rise over top edge of cup, especially if you fill batter too close to top edge. Allow to cool a little, add garnish topping; or tip onto a plate and garnish.
Tips: Add extras to the cup batter for a nice taste treat: coconut, almonds, walnuts, chopped cherries, mini marshmallows. I didn't have chocolate chips, so I chopped up 3 small Hershey's candies that I had on hand for my honey's lunch and added the pieces to the batter. Wow! Delicious!
Garnish: I sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of whipped cream. Double Yum! You can be much more creative than I was with your topping design.
Important! If you're adding whipped cream or ice cream, wait for cake to cool. Topping will meeelllt and make cake mushy.
1. Garnish with Whipped Cream or ReddiWhip.
2. Poke with fork tines, and spoon chocolate pudding over top.
3. You can turn out and decorate for a nice individual presentation.
* Make sure the cup/s or bowls you choose are safe to use in microwave.
* I substituted sugar for Stevia and couldn't tell the difference. Sweet and good.
Note: You can purchase "self-rising flour," which is all-purpose flour which has already been sifted with salt and baking powder. It's just as easy to make your own with all-purpose flour (i.e. Gold Medal or Pillsbury), which is what this recipe calls for.
