Microwave chocolate cake suggestions
Although it doesn’t turn into a mocha or coffee cake, the recipe calls for coffee, which always enhances the chocolate flavour. However, you’re allowed to change the coffee content to your personal desire. Brownies may be made by microwaving one cup of milk with two teaspoons of cocoa powder, one teaspoon of butter, and one tablespoon of honey while the cake is still hot. If you want your cake to stay moist, pour this over it while it’s still hot. You may also top it with some crushed nuts or berries.
Now is the perfect time to get a midnight snack! The best way to enjoy this delicious chocolate cake made in the microwave is with some whipped cream or ice cream.
