When You Need a Quick Treat: Chocolate Cake in Less than 10 Minutes
It happens in every household, usually when you least expect it. The snack attack strikes someone in the family. There is a demand for a sweet treat and you need to cobble something tasty together with the ingredients you have on hand. And ideally, that treat won’t be a nutritional void. This recipe is based on Wish I Could Cook’s “5-Minute Wacky Vegan Microwave Chocolate Cake for One” on Food.com. To give this cake a boost of iron, fiber, and protein, I used whole wheat flour. To make it truly vegan, I used raw sugar, rather than white sugar. I increased the amounts of vanilla and cocoa powder for a richer flavor. The best part about this cake is that the whole process takes less than 10 minutes: 3 minutes of preparation, 3 minutes to cook (in the microwave!), and about 3 minutes to cool. It comes out warm, moist, and perfectly sweet. It wrangles that pesky snack attack, while still offering some important health benefits.
