35-Second Chocolate Cake
"Now here’s a sweet little sweetie that you can mix and cook in the cup and in – alright maybe 1 1/2 minutes tops – you’ll have a cute little cutie for a guilt free snack. (But it’s only 35 seconds in the microwave…so there!) Soooo good, for so not a lot of work! The best part? No huge 16-serving monstrosity sitting on your counter staring you down every time you pass by the kitchen. I found this recipe on Eating Well Living Thin. I thought this made a nice little chocolaty snack. When I made this cake I did use the coffee crystals, but I used vegetable oil in place of the olive oil. I did serve mine plain at first, then I poured a bit of sugar free Hershey's chocolate syrup over the cake and topped it with canned whipped cream. While I thought the cake was a bit different tasting I thought it tasted better without the Hershey's syrup."
- Ready In:
- 6mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
1
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute or 1 1/2 tablespoons whey, low powdered
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon instant coffee crystals (but brings out the chocolaty YUM!) (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 drop vanilla extract
directions
- Spray a coffee cup or ramekin with vegetable cooking spray. In the cup combine the flour, Splenda, cocoa powder, baking powder, coffee crystals and salt until no lumps remain. Stir in the milk, olive oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Bake in the microwave on high for 35 seconds. You may need to add 5 more seconds (maybe 5 more after that, depending on your microwave)… but don’t be tempted to overcook or it will be rubbery! It should be moist on the bottom and will continue cooking as it sets.
- Serve with chocolate sauce…a sprinkle of powdered sugar…whipped cream or eat plain as a brownie.
- (Use hot or cold leftover coffee in place of the crystals and milk to lower the calories even more.).

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME!!! I would never have thought that it was possible, but it is not only possible, it's delicious. I hung the recipe on the inside of my cabinet for easy reference. I topped with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and fat free whipped topping. I can't thank you enough for posting this. You may have saved my diet. -
I'm still experimenting, since I prefer just a bit more cocoa, but this is without a doubt, beyond awesome! I would never have guessed that I could make something so sweet and chocolaty, and yet still stay within my diet! I don't think I could say thank you enough!

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
