Just a few minutes in the microwave and the cake is ready!
We doubt you'll find a faster way to make a chocolate dessert than a microwave Minute Cake. Well, maybe you'll just run to the nearest store for some sweets. In reality, it won't take a minute to prepare—it'll cook for about five minutes—but it's still a record-breaking dessert recipe. The fact that the cake is cooked in the microwave is crucial. The microwave speeds up the process, but the key is to use a 1000-watt oven. If this recipe doesn't work the first time, you'll need to adjust the ingredients to suit your microwave.
Despite the speed of this dessert, it's a true cake. It can and should be made with cream, which is prepared while the sponge cake is baking.
The recipe for the "Minute" cake quickly spread across social media and became wildly popular. And no wonder—everyone wants to learn how to make it in just a few minutes, even in the microwave. Photos on social media show this chocolate dessert being baked right in a cup. You can surprise your guests by offering them a cup of this cake. But to do so, you'll need to divide the ingredients by at least four.
Minute biscuit
It will take you a minute to find the ingredients in the refrigerator: one egg, 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 6 tablespoons of milk, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 5 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of starch, 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
Crack the egg into a bowl, add sugar, and beat with a whisk or mixer. Then, one at a time, add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, starch, and baking powder, mixing well. Then pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Line a baking pan with parchment paper so the cake can be removed without waiting for it to cool. This sponge cake expands considerably during baking, so don't use a pan smaller than 500 ml. Place the batter in the pan and microwave for 3 minutes.
Minute cream
There'll be cream too! Condensed milk can serve as cream. Or you can beat butter and sugar with a mixer.
When the cake is ready, remove it from the pan, cut it lengthwise with a knife to create two layers, and spread with condensed milk or cream. If you have cookies at home, you can sprinkle them with sponge cake crumbs. We hope you'll savor this Minutka cake for many minutes! Enjoy!
