Made some lemon cupcakes the other day. Problem was they take time. This really doesn't! Hungry? Do it! This is just fantastic. Chocolate cake is the best kind of cake. This is No. 5 in the Cambridge "Microwave Week"! Suuucccchh fun! Since we put chocolate in pre-cooking there are strands of chocolate all through the cake...! It's lovely. Give it a go. Love this. I think that honey may be the secret to perfect cake. Have a go. No 4 "Microwave Week". Ingredients
Method Mix everything up into a paste with a fork! Cook for 1 minute. OK this is kind of a cookie and kind of a cake. I am still yet to perfect the cookie. The trick to making it more cookie-y is leaving it to cool completely (it goes hard). The problem is I want instant gratification and so just ate it when it was part cookie, part cake. In any case, it tastes great and is a great 5 minute sugar kick!
If you have an oven, here is the full blown cookie recipe! OK chaps. It is the mid-term chill-out week in Cambridge. I have a good friend in Caius College and she asked if we could provide some easy recipes for food in the microwave as they do not have any proper ovens. Outrageous.
So here you go. A nice cake in a cup to start with. The beauty of these is they take no time, are a shot of sweet gorgeousness and you need hardly any ingredients. Check back here tomorrow for the next one! No butter in this - that means it's basically one of your five a day. Super easy. Super good. Welcome to the second instalment of "microwave week"! This is a nice student-y take on a classic. Takes literally a minute - I like it if you don't quite cook the whole thing through so it goes super gloopy. It'll make ya happy!
I first did these when Trevs SCA ran a cake stall. It was great and we got involved by making these cupcakes! They all sold out so they must have been ok. You can make them with this recipe. So easy. Get involved. This time I popped some raspberries on top and this was a great addition. We have all been there. You are basically at the end of your jar of Nutella or chocolate spread. You are left desperately clawing for the last dregs of the wonder that lies within; because of this, your Nutella experience (yes, that is a thing) is no longer the delight that it should be.
However, fear not, Barking Baking has the solution: Nutella Milk Shots. Simply fill the jar up with milk and, checking there is no foil left on the rim, chuck it in the microwave until it is hot (no lid)! Give it a good shake (lid!) and then serve in your standard student shot glasses. We got 10 shots in total. #wildnight Wow. This is exactly like peach pudding but with tinned mangos instead. Really really good. Super pudding and it only takes about 10 minutes.
I work in a sweet shop from time to time and a guy came in and told me to microwave some smarties as he said the chocolate in the middle melts, but the outer shell stays intact. So I tried it.
I have to say he was right in everything except that the colour of the shell goes a bit. Having said that, it was a properly gungy cake. A winner. Give it a shot. This recipe is so easy and it tastes soooo good! A must! I reckon this will cost less than £1 to make all four mousses (use Tesco/Sainsbury's own chocolate). I used ramekins that were 3 inches across and 1 inch deep. These would be a good dinner party pud or date night thing as it's easy to make but still tastes fab. Maybe serve with raspberries or something if doing for date night #toptip. |
