Ingredients: |
|
|
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/3 cup water
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:
|
In a small bowl or cup, combine the cocoa and the first measure of water. Don't bother to stir; the cocoa won't dissolve. Microwave on High for 40 seconds. Stir until smooth; mixture will be thick. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the cocoa mixture, the remaining measure of water, oil, egg and vanilla. With a spoon, mix the wet ingredients thoroughly, then blend in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the microwave pan and microwave on High for 5 to 6 minutes, until the cake begins to pull away from the side of the pan. Check the cake after 5 minutes, and if it isn't pulling from the sides, return it to the microwave for another minute. Let cool in pan. The flavor improves if it can rest 1 hour. This is as good as any of the packaged microwave cake mixes at a fraction of the cost. I use 1/3 of a can of purchased chocolate frosting. I refrigerate the rest to use at a later date on 2 more cakes.

Rich and satisfying, quick to prepare, chocolate cake. For six servings, use an 8-inch round glass pan or the reusable plastic one that came with Pillsbury's microwave cake mix.
