Microwave Cake



So the other day I had a craving for something chocolaty, but I didn't want to wait for it in the oven. So the microwave cake was born.

Ingredients for Fudge Layer:

  • 1/2 cup of butter (100g)
  • 1/2 cup of sugar (100g)
  • 3 tablespoons of cocoa (20g)
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla (5ml vanilla)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of flour (90g)
  • handful of walnuts
  • pinch of salt
Ingredients for Coconut Layer:

  • 1/2 cup of butter (100g)
  • 1/2 cup of oatmeal (100g)
  • 1/2 cup of shredded coconut (100g)
  • 3 tablespoons flour (75g)


Step 1:
Start with the fudge layer first. Start with melting the butter in the microwave then mix in the rest of the ingredients. Let it sit.



Step 2:
In a new bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. (If you want to cut down on the butter melt 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of milk in the microwave.) Mix in the oatmeal, coconut and flour.



Step 3:
Pour the fudge mixture into a microwave safe dish. I used a casserole dish. Then pour the coconut mixture directly over the fudge mixture. 

Step 4:
Microwave for 9 minutes.



Enjoy your surprisingly delicious microwave creation!
