Ingredients for 35 Second Chocolate Cake

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Splenda Sugar Substitute
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Instant Coffee Crystals
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Vanilla Extract

How to Make 35 Second Chocolate Cake

  1. Lightly grease a large mug (at least 12 oz) or ramekin with cooking spray.
  2. In the mug, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute (Splenda or equivalent), 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon instant coffee crystals (optional), and a pinch of salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  4. Microwave on high for 35 seconds.
  5. If the cake is not fully cooked, microwave in 5-second increments until cooked through but still moist. Overcooked cake will be rubbery. It should be moist on the bottom and will continue cooking as it sets.
  6. Let cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings, such as sugar-free chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
