Description

This microwave cake might surprise you -- in only 7 minutes, you can have a warm, gooey, sweet chocolate treat with a layer of sauce hidden on the bottom.

Ingredients

4 ounces self-rising flour
4 ounces white sugar
1 ounce unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 ounces margarine, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 ounces brown sugar
1 ounce unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 pint warm water

Directions

1 Mix flour, sugar, 1 ounce cup cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add egg, milk, melted margarine, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine and transfer to a large microwave-safe bowl with sides at least 2 inches high.
2 Combine brown sugar and 1 ounce cocoa powder in a bowl. Sprinkle on top of the batter in the microwave-safe bowl. Pour warm water gently over the cake; use a fork to gently prick a few holes in the cake to allow water to seep in.
3 Cook in the microwave on high power for 5 minutes. Serve with ice cream or custard.
