The Quickest Chocolate Cake



I just couldn't resist trying chef Michael Symon's recipe for Chocolate 'Cup' Cake.

I found the recipe in the June 18, 2012 issue of "People" magazine and if it wasn't from great chef Michael Symon, I would think it would be too good to be true — You mix up an easy cake batter, divide it among four coffee mugs and zap them in the microwave for three minutes.

Thank you Michael Symon!

I tested the recipe and it works. The cake is moist, rich and satisfying. This is one handy recipe that I will definitely keep on file.

Here's how you do it:

Put 8 oz. of butter and 8 oz. of chopped dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.



Microwave the chocolate and butter for 1 minute on the highest setting. Stir until melted.
In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
Whisk these ingredients together.

Add chocolate mixture.
Mix well.

Divide mixture among four 10 oz. coffee mugs.
Place all the mugs in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on the highest setting. Let cool 30 seconds after baking.
Garnish with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.Enjoy!
