My ten year old daughter has a penchant for cooking, just like her mom. I remember, I have started cooking for the whole family at the age of 11. Nothing exceptional, you may say. Well, let me tell you this, stop watching Junior Masterchef now! haha It's a completely different level. But kidding aside, during that time, I always take pride to see everyone was full and satisfied every time I cook. So now that Pristine shows interest for cooking and baking, I let her cook easy meals.
One time I was busy working in front of my PC, Pristine came to me and asked if I could bake for her as she was craving for something sweet. I wouldn't be able to meet my deadline if I give in, so I just pulled out my recipe chronicles and find the easiest recipe she can try.
So here's what she made...
The quickest yet yummy moist chocolate cake! Although Pristine has already cooked a couple of easy dishes, it was her first attempt at baking a cake. She was surprised how easy this one was. This recipe doesn't require an oven and mixer, not even skills! LOL
Here's what you need:
- Coffee Mug
- 1 tablespoon. + 1 tsp. cocoa (use the yummiest you can find)
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons evaporated milk or fresh milk
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
Procedure:
- Combine all dry ingredients and mix well
- Add vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients, mix very well using a spoon.
- Grease your coffee mug with vegetable oil before pouring the mixture. Thick consistency is normal, just so you know. Tilt the mug to level the mixture.
- Bake in the microwave for 50 seconds, do not over bake otherwise you won't achieve a moist cake.
- Let it cool before removing from the mug.
Happy baking everyone!
