This is sooo easy and really quite yummmy. It is also nice for small families, because it only makes a small cake. Mine is a 900 watt and you just have to adjust the time a bit to accomodate your microwave the first time you make it. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup granulated sugar |
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (i use ghirardelli brand) |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup cold water |
1/3 cup canola oil |
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup granulated sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 cup boiling water |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
salt, to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt.
2. Stir in oil, cold water, vinegar, and vanilla until blended well.
3. Pour into an UNgreased 8 microwave safe square baking pan.
4. Microwave on HIGH for about 6-8 minutes, turning the dish every 2 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean when inserted near the center.
5. FOR Sauce:In a 1 quart microwave safe bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder until combined well.
6. Stir in water and a dash of salt (if using).
7. Microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mixture comes to a boil.
8. Once it hit the boiling point, cook another 1 minute more.
9. Stir in butter and vanilla and mix well.
10. Slice cake into squares and serve the warm sauce over the still warm cake.
11. I like to add some sprinkles, shredded coconut,or chopped nuts on top too.
