Microwave Cake in a Cup

Microwave Cake in a Cup

Here is a simple no nestle dessert that you can literally make in ten minutes. Chef Jason calls it his Microwave Cake in a cup.

Ingredients:

 8 ounces room-temperature butter, cubed

·        8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

·        3/4 cup all-purpose flour

·        3/4 cup sugar

·        1 teaspoon orange zest

·        1 teaspoon salt

·        4 eggs

Method

Melt the butter and chocolate together in a glass bowl by setting over a double boiler, or for 60 seconds in the microwave.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, orange zest, salt and eggs. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture. Divide the batter among 4 large or 6 medium coffee cups.

Microwave for 50 seconds to 2 minutes on high, depending on the number of cakes, the power of your microwave and how molten you like your cakes. Let cool for 30 seconds. Top with the ice cream and cherries and serve.

Now that’s as simple as it gets. Plus you can even experiment with white chocolate also.
