Really! I do not kid.
30 seconds!
And 100 calories!
For chocoholic, sugar addicts, who are pathetically impatient like me, this is just divine.
This cake is another Pinterest tried-and-true find, and boy am I happy to have made the discovery! Like usual, there are few minor tweaks from the original recipe (we aren’t coffee drinkers). Here’s the method to my madness:
30-second Chocolate Cake
(Adapted from Eating Well Living Thin(er!))
(Adapted from Eating Well Living Thin(er!))
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tbsp. no-calorie sweetener (I’ve used sugar, too… which makes it, like, 175 calorie cake:)
2 tsp. cocoa powder
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. oil
1 drop of vanilla extract
Spray a mug or ramekin with cooking spray. In the cup combine the flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain. Stir in the milk, olive oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Bake in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. You may need to add 5-10 more seconds depending on your microwave. *Note: don’t overcook or it will be rubbery! It should be moist on the bottom and will continue cooking as it sets.
I serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, but you could top it with fruit, whipped cream… anything!
I give this one a 9/10- it’s such a great go-to, make it in a pinch recipe!
Totally enough to settle my post-meal sweet tooth. (And that’s a tall order.) PIN IT (eh, get it!?) Give it a try!
