Ingredients

  • granulated sugar
    ¼ c
  • unsweetened natural cocoa powder
    3 tbsp
  • water
    3 tbsp
  • canola or vegetable oil
    2 tbsp
  • light brown sugar

    packed

    2 tbsp
  • vanilla extract
    ½ tsp
  • salt
    to taste
  • all-purpose flour
    ¼ c
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips
    ⅓ c
  • ice cream or whipped topping

    optional for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the granulated sugar, cocoa, water, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and whisk to combine.

  2. 2

    Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.

  3. 3

    Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook on high power in the microwave for about 1 minute, or until the brownie is as set in the center as desired. All microwaves, bowls, ingredients, and preferences for doneness vary, so you will need to experiment with how long it takes to cook given your variables. I recommend stopping to check at the 45-second mark and going from there in 15-second bursts as necessary.

  5. 5

    Optionally add ice cream or whipped topping and serve immediately. Brownie is best warm and fresh.

Microwave Chocolate Pudding Cake

Microwave Chocolate Pudding Cake

Making a cake in the microwave may not be traditional, but it makes the whole process easy and superfast — and this recipe produces a warm, gooey, pudding-like dessert. Simply mix the cake ingredients together, top with the cocoa, sugar and boiling water, and microwave on high. (Don’t forget to take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly while the cake cooks.) In the microwave, the bottom sets into a supermoist chocolate cake while the topping transforms into a rich chocolate sauce. As microwaves and dish size can vary, knowing when to pull the cake out is the only tricky part. It’s done when you can see a firm cake start to bubble to the surface. Don’t worry: A little underdone is just fine, too. This dessert will continue to set a bit while it cools. The instant coffee is optional but it really does add depth to the chocolate flavor.
