Simple Microwaved Chocolate Cake

Ok so back from office this evening, had the craving to eat something chocolatey. So i whip up this simple microwaved chocolate cake in less than 5 minutes. Honest to god it takes less than that (disclaimer: given i move pretty fast like lipas kudung in the kitchen and all the baking things are within easy reach)

Really simple recipe:

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1 satchet 3-in-1 instant coffee (optional)

Directions:

- mix everything in a microwave-safe container (i do it by hand using spoon je dalam tupperware)

- microwave for 1:30 (90 seconds)

- ?

- profit

Notes:

- to make it ala #batikfudgebrownies i put some biskut marie pieces/chunks in the batter before putting it into microwave.

- since i eat it with cream cheese frosting, i reduced the sugar to half of its ratio (1/8 cup instead of 1/4 cup), but i usually put less sugar than all recipe calls for. So taste and adjust the batter to your liking sweetness level okay.

- i use olive oil. Just because.

- i think if you prefer it more fudgy brownie than cakey, increase the oil level to 1/3 cup instead of 1/4 ?
