kieslinMy brother had a craving for cake and I wanted to try making one in the microwave. Since we had no eggs, milk but everything else I adapted a vegan cake recipe to make this.
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Milo/cocoa
chocolate chunks
In a stone bowl, mix everything but the chunks of chocolate first until it's a smooth mixture. Fold in the chunks of chocolate. Stick the bowl in the microwave for 3.5 minutes. The time is based on a 1200W microwave. Use a palette knife to go around the edges before turning over onto a plate.
This is what it looked like in the bowl when I took it out of the microwave.
This is what it looks like turned upside down onto a plate.
Tastes best when eaten warm. It's preferable to make small batches as it dries out when put in the fridge.

I used self-raising...of course if you only have plain then add baking powder, but I'm never sure how much I should add, so it's easier for me to buy SR flour.
I probably should also add that it tastes best when it just comes out. Eat it when it's warm or at least at room temperature. Once it goes in the fridge, it doesn't taste as good and dries out.
