Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a cake in the microwave in 5 minutes quickly and tasty? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the egg under running warm water and baking soda to remove dirt and bacteria, break it into a bowl. Pour milk into it; it can be of any fat content. The main thing is that the milk is fresh and natural.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour sugar, preferably finely ground, into a bowl with the egg and milk. It can be either regular white sugar, cane sugar or brown sugar.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a bowl. The oil must be refined so that the smell of the seeds does not overwhelm the aroma of the other ingredients. You can also take olive oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat everything until smooth. This can be done manually using a whisk, or use a mixer.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sift the wheat flour into a bowl with the mixture through a fine sieve. This will get rid of debris, if there was any, and saturate the flour with oxygen. It is best to take the highest grade flour; the baked goods will be more airy. You may need less or more flour, depending on the desired consistency of the dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add cocoa powder to the bowl. Cocoa must be of the highest quality without any additives in the form of sugar or milk powder. And it’s best to sift the cocoa powder, like the flour, to break up all possible lumps and mix it evenly into the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add baking powder and vanilla sugar. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can add vanilla or vanillin. But if you change the vanilla sugar, the weight will be different. Add vanillin at the tip of a knife, as more can add bitterness to the finished dish.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything well until smooth. The dough should be like thick sour cream.

10. STEP 10

    

    Take a microwave-safe dish and grease it with vegetable oil. Line the bottom with baking paper. If you like tall cakes like we do, take a mold with a diameter of 12-14 centimeters. If the cakes are made of two layers, a mold with a diameter of 18 centimeters is quite suitable.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the dough into the pan and smooth it out. Make a small indentation in the middle of the dough. This will allow the finished cake to avoid the top from rising in a mound and remain flat.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the pan in the microwave on the turntable and close the door. Cook at 900 W for 3-4 minutes. First bake for 3 minutes, check for doneness and if necessary turn on for another 1 minute. After the shutdown signal, leave it inside for another 5 minutes to allow the biscuit to finish cooking.

13. STEP 13

    

    Remove the pan from the microwave and remove the finished biscuit. Remove the paper from the bottom of the cake and place it on a wire rack until it cools completely. You can take the grill rack from a microwave oven. And do not leave the sponge cake in the mold, it will become damp from the steam as it cools.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cut the cooled sponge cake into 3 layers.

15. STEP 15

    

    Brush the bottom layer with chocolate spread. Instead, you can take boiled condensed milk or whip cream.

16. STEP 16

    

    Coat the layers like this and assemble the cake.

17. STEP 17

    

    Coat the entire cake with chocolate paste. Leave a little for decoration.

18. STEP 18

    

    Dry the walnuts a little in a dry frying pan, chop with a knife or in a blender and sprinkle on the sides and surface of the cake, pressing.

19. STEP 19

    

    Decorate the top with the reserved chocolate spread and serve. Or put it in the refrigerator for several hours to soak.

20. STEP 20

    

    Serve the cake with hot, aromatic tea, coffee or cocoa. Bon appetit!

This is not my first experience of cooking a cake in the microwave, so without hesitation I doubled the portion. I was interested in the recipe because there are differences in the set of products from what I used. I was pleased with the result. The biscuit turned out to be porous, easy to cut, and did not crumble. I lightly brushed the cakes with cherry syrup. I thank the author for the recipe and invite everyone to a homemade tea party.

My daughter wanted to make the cake herself. For training, I chose a recipe for a cake in the microwave in 5 minutes, quick and tasty. The recipe is simple and clear, the child coped with it under my guidance). The dough was kneaded exactly as described. It turned out not very thick, it immediately began to bubble. We baked it in a silicone mold with a diameter of 15 cm. I have a 750 W microwave. I set it for 4 minutes, checked, and the biscuit was already baked! Place it on a wire rack and cool. Then I cut it lengthwise into three layers. It is very porous, soft inside and smells deliciously of chocolate! We didn't have chocolate spread, and nuts are now banned. Therefore, we layered it with another cream and decorated with sprinkles. The cake is very tasty and tender! We left one piece the next day and it became even softer and juicier, apparently soaked. I loved this recipe and will continue to use it!

Of course, I fantasized here, but I didn’t get it to be so tall and big. It looks more like a cupcake than a cake, which is why I topped it with sour cream. And so the idea, of course, is fire. Especially when you want something sweet to go with your coffee. Thanks for the recipe! I'll try again, maybe change the dishes. In general, to be continued...))

As soon as I opened the door to check it with a match, before my eyes it “blown away” to 2 cm, which led to indescribable sadness (((😫 so, well, check this! Don’t open it until it cools down in the MVP!
