5 minutes
A microwave cake in 3 minutes is a find for those who appreciate delicious pastries but don't want to spend much time cooking. This recipe, originating from modern European cuisine, has become popular due to its simplicity and speed. The base consists of classic ingredients: flour, eggs, cocoa, and vegetable oil, with the secret to the cake's softness being added sour cream. The finished cake delights with its rich chocolate flavor and tender texture. It is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon dessert, or quick preparation for unexpected guests. You can experiment with fillings by adding nuts, berries or chocolate chips. And the presentation is a matter of imagination: powdered sugar, grated chocolate, cream or jam will make this quick dessert even more appetizing. Simplicity, convenience and a great result are what make this cake true culinary magic!
1
Mix the dry ingredients in a small container.
- Wheat flour: 4 tablespoons
- Sugar: 4 tablespoons
- Cocoa: 2 tablespoons
2
Crack 2 eggs in there. Add butter. To keep the cake moist, don't forget to add sour cream.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
- Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
- Sour cream: 2 tablespoons
3
Dissolve the soda with vinegar and add it to the dough. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, it's better to beat with a mixer. The dough should be of medium thickness.
- Slaked soda: pinch
4
Distribute the dough into small molds up to the middle level of the mold (I use silicone molds). Remember that the dough rises significantly in the microwave. If you don't have molds, you can make a chocolate mug cake in a microwave-safe mug or a small bowl. There's no need to grease the molds, as the prepared dough has enough fat.
5
Put in the microwave on maximum power. After 1.5 minutes, take out the cupcakes if you are baking in small molds. After 3 minutes if baking in a mug. Cooking time depends on the microwave power and the size of the molds. When the cupcakes are ready, you'll know — the batter has risen and hardened, and a delicious smell of freshly baked cupcakes has appeared.

Wait for the cupcakes to cool slightly and remove them from the mold. If you are baking cupcakes in a mug, you can eat them with a dessert fork. You can sprinkle powdered sugar, grated chocolate, etc. on top of the cupcakes. If you bake a cake in a large bowl, you can cut it in half and spread cream, jam, etc. on it.
