Quick Eggless Microwave Chocolate cake





This very moist cake is ready in 5 minutes!! Yes, and that too this can be done using a microwave in a jiffy. If you have all the ingredients ready, the total cooking time is only 5 minutes and this does not require a lot of fancy ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1 cup milk (at room temperature)
1 cup sugar
3 tbsps cocoa powder
3 tbsps oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp orange rind (optional)

Method:
1. Grease a mocrowave safe bowl with oil and line the bottom with wax paper
2. Mix sugar and milk until sugar is completely dissolved
3. Sift the dry ingredients well and break lumps if there are any
4. Add this dry mixture to the milk and sugar mixture
5. Add vanilla essence and oil and mix well until a smooth mixture is obtained
6. Add orange rind (if using) and lemon juice and mix quickly and pour into the greased dish (Lemon juice will act with the baking soda to make the cake soft and fluffy)
7. Microwave for 5 minutes on HIGH power.
Note: that microwave temperatures vary and the cake is done only when a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes, release the sides and transfer to a serving dish. Serve either warm or cold

Serving suggestions: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla icecream or decorate with your favourite icing.
