After posting this photo of a Christmas Pudding cake which I'd made, I was asked to share the recipe. Obviously I made the cake for Christmas (you can probably tell by the design!) but I'm sure you could use it for any occasion.
Microwave Chocolate Cake. The yummiest cake I've eaten in a long while. REALLY? I can hear you cry incredulously? Well, yes. A few other people said so too. So here is the recipe which I am so kindly sharing with you all. Special thoughts go to those who are always short of time. As I start my new job tomorrow and become one of those people, I'll be happy to have this recipe to fall back on and cheer me up from time to time.
Ingredients:
175g caster sugar
175g margarine (or soft unsalted butter)
40g cocoa
150g self raising flour
3 medium eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Grease a microwave safe dish or bowl with butter (I used a Pyrex bowl but you could also use a casserole dish) and then spoon the mixture into it.
Microwave on full power for 7 minutes (this is about right for an 850W microwave, just add or take away 20 or 30 seconds for less or more powerful models).
Allow to stand for 1 minute.
Carefully turn bowl and tip out.
As I hadn't quite greased enough, my cake came out in 2 parts. The second part had to be eased out with a palette knife. Of course it's impossible to tell once the decorations are on, and it still tasted delicious!
That's it. See, easy peasy! Enjoy.

There are very few food/cooking/baking posts on my blog for good reason, but I'd love it if you stayed around and checked out my posts about parenting a child with non-typical behaviour...
