MICROWAVE BROWNIE CAKE



Microwave Brownie Cake image

Created this in a dorm room when all the mug cake recipes I found were terrible. It's super easy to make and to memorize, and if you only use one mug, a tablespoon measure, and a spoon, you have a lot fewer dishes to do. Easy to make in under 5 minutes with minimal mess, so enjoy! And never feel bad about eating the entire thing yourself.

MICROWAVE BROWNIE LAVA CAKE



Microwave Brownie Lava Cake image

This is about the yummiest dessert and it is so easy, but seems so decadent. I've tried various chocolate candies to melt in the center, but have found that Dove Dark Chocolate Promise candy pieces are the best--they melt the best and aren't absorbed into the batter, not to mention they are just so delicious! Note that the ingredient list below automatically changed Dove to doves--you won't add actual doves, but the chocolate kind. Bake these in individual custard cups or mason jars. A friend gave me this recipe and she said she got it from theyummylife.com.

Time 14m

Yield 6 cakes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (20 ounce) package brownie mix (family size for 9X13 pan)
2 eggs (or as called for by your brownie mix)
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your brownie mix)
1/4 cup water (or as called for by your brownie mix)
1 large egg
16 (1/3 ounce) dove promises dark chocolate candies
whipped cream (optional) or vanilla ice cream (optional)
raspberries (to garnish) (optional) or strawberry (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Empty brownie mix into large bowl.
  • Whisk to remove large lumps.
  • Coat 8 (6 oz.) custard cups with cooking spray.
  • Add a small amount of dry brownie mix to each cup and rotate cups until completely coated and set aside.
  • In separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients called for in brownie mix instructions (usually oil, water, eggs), plus 1 additional egg.
  • Add wet ingredients to brownie mix and stir until well combined.
  • Add 1/2 cup batter to each custard cup.
  • Stack two Dove candies and press them down into the center of the batter.
  • Spoon batter over candy so it is completely covered.
  • Place in microwave and cook at full power for 1 minute for 1 cake (microwave power and times may vary).
  • May cook up to 4 cakes at one time, adding 1/2 minute to cooking time for each additional cake.
  • To remove cake from bowl: Run a thin knife around the edge of the cooked cake. Place a small plate on top of the cake cup. Flip the plate and bowl over, so the cake is inverted on top of the plate. Gently lift the bowl, leaving the inverted cake on the plate. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream; garnish with berries.
  • Cakes may also be eaten directly from the custard cup they are cooked in (without inverting them on a plate). May also be cooked and served in half-pint mason jars. If eating cakes directly from bowl or jar, it isn't necessary to spray or coat them before adding batter and cooking.
  • MAKE AHEAD: Batter may be mixed and added with chocolate pieces to custard cups or jars in advance. Cover and refrigerate up to a week. Remove from refrigerator and warm to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Microwave: Not all microwaves are created equal. For best results, use a microwave with a minimum of 800 watts of power.
  • Prepare Your Ingredients: Before you start, make sure all of your ingredients are properly measured and prepared. This will help ensure your brownies turn out perfectly.
  • Use a Microwavable Dish: Make sure you use a microwave-safe dish that is large enough to accommodate the brownie batter without overflowing.
  • Stir the Batter: Before microwaving, stir the batter well to ensure even cooking.
  • Microwave in Intervals: Don't microwave the brownies all at once. Instead, cook them in intervals, stirring in between, to prevent overcooking.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out clean, they are done. If not, continue microwaving in short intervals until done.
  • Let Them Cool: Once the brownies are done, let them cool slightly before cutting and serving. This will help them set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These microwave brownie recipes offer a quick and easy way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can enjoy delicious, fudgy brownies that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner in the kitchen, these recipes are sure to impress. So, preheat your microwave, gather your ingredients, and get ready to indulge in the ultimate microwave brownie experience!
