It's a great recipe but it's better if u make 2 small adjustments. I added 1/8th a teaspoon of baking powder and an extra scoop of cocoa powder. The baking powder adds volume to the cake. It was the softest and moist without being gummy. I also used butter instead of oil. Will make again.
I used 1 T less sugar, and that was plenty sweet enough for us! Because of no microwave, I steamed this for 15 minutes each brownie. Wonderful idea when you don't want to be tempted by a pan full of brownies!
Although the texture was "rubbery" the taste was surprisingly delicious. I did prepare my ingredients a couple hours before and then just microwaved when we were ready to eat so maybe that's why the texture was off. The next time I have a chocolate craving I will make this:)
what a great recipe. I added the 1/8 of tsp of baking powder as another reviewer recommended. I would have never guessed it was a microwave cake if I hadn't made it.
I made this using one less Tbs of sugar and an extra Tbs of cocoa powder like another reviewer had suggested.I also used butter instead of olive oil because I was scared that you would be able to taste it and I didn’t have vegetable oil on hand. I also added a pinch of baking powder. It came out moist and chocolatey. I’ll definitely make this again.
This was perfect! Wanted some chocolate and this delivered! After the cake was done I did sprinkle milk chocolate chips and chopped walnuts on top and then nuked it for an additional 20 seconds. YUM
i followed the recipe exactly except that I was out of olive oil and I used vegetable oil. it was super easy and quick. Not the greatest cake i've had but i will definitely keep for quick desserts.
I had a craving for chocolate cake at 10:15 at night after watching the finale of spring baking championship. I just wanted to make this to see if it really was 10 minute cake. Never made cake in the microwave before either. It turned out great!!! Really was ten minute cake!! I had it with lots of vanilla ice cream on top. Took care of my cake craving:) yum!!!
I thought this cake was pretty good!! I added some cayenne pepper and cooked it a big longer than 2 minutes (plenty of time to clean up the evidence and pour a glass of cold milk). I used a large cereal bowl.
I omitted the cocoa powder because I just wanted a yellow cake and I did not like the flavor of the olive oil. If I make it again I will use canola oil or something instead. Like other reviewers I just used 4 tablespoons of sugar and it was plenty sweet! I also added 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to help it rise and it was nice and fluffy!
