Chocolate Cake in Under 5 Minutes ..

You know those times when you are craving a piece of chocolate cake and you want it like in the next 5 minutes; well, that's actually doable and within 5 minutes. I had wanted to try making a microwave cake and when I saw this recipe at The Cupcake Project it was the push I needed to make it right away.

It's not the most amazing of chocolate cakes, but considering the time required and the ease of the recipe, its a great way to reduce a craving.
Chocolate Cinnamon Cupcakes

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon white sugar
4 ½ teaspoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I love cinnamon but in case you don't like cinnamon that much, please add less)
 4 ½ teaspoons milk
1 tablespoons butter, melted
½ egg, lightly whipped
Icing sugar for sprinkling

Mix flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger in a small bowl.Mix in milk, butter, and egg.Pour the mixture in a ramekin/microwave safe glass bowl/individual silicon cupcake liner.Make sure you do not use any aluminum/metal pan in the microwave. Microwave on medium for one minute.

Microwave again on medium for thirty seconds. Use a skewer to test if the cake is done. If there are no crumbs when the skewer/knife is inserted then the cake is done. Alternatively, the cake should bounce back when touched with a finger. If cake is not done, then microwave for 30 seconds more.

Sprinkle with icing sugar in the end.
