2-Minute Chocolate Butter Cake
Single or small serving recipes are great for individuals living alone or those who are the only ones living low carb/keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. I published the original version of butter cake about 2 weeks ago. This is the chocolate version. This method of cooking in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes makes the texture of the cake so soft, fluffy, moist and buttery. I think the texture is even better than the usual baked ones.
1. Add all the dry ingredients into a small bowl and mix to combine. Then add all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. The batter is smooth and thick.
2. In the video, I used a 5x5 inch glass baking dish, greased and lined with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use 2 small cups as shown in the video. You can also use any suitable mug or ramekin.
3. Transfer the batter into the glass baking dish or cup. Spread evenly. Top with sugar-free dark chocolate chips (optional).
4. Microwave for 2 minutes for the 5x5 inch baking dish and 1 1/2 minutes for the cup version. Microwave the cups one at a time. It is best to microwave with a 30-second interval to avoid any overflow and uneven cooking. Check doneness with a toothpick. As all microwave ovens are different, please adjust accordingly.
5. Once ready, remove the dish, parchment paper and slice into 4 servings.
6. You can enjoy this cake warm but if you wish to dust with powdered sweetener, you need to let the cake cool completely first. This cake is so soft, fluffy, moist, flavorful and incredibly delicious. In fact, the texture is even better than the usual baked ones.
7. If you wish to use a traditional oven, you can bake in a preheated oven at 350F or 180C for about 15 to 20 minutes. The texture will be different.
