Microwave Devil's Food Cake Recipe

1 cup plain (semi-sweet) chopped chocolate

2 cups self-rising flour

2 tbsp cocoa (unsweetened chocolate) powder

? tsp baking soda

1 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

? cup buttermilk and plain yogurt

1cing sugar

1. Closely line the base and sides of a straight-sided deep 20 cm/18in diameter souffl? dish with plastic wrap. Melt the chocolate in a small bowl on Defrost for 3-4 minutes, stirring twice. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda directly into a food processor bowl.

2. Add the melted chocolate with all the remaining ingredients and process for about 1 minute or until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture resembles a thick batter.

3. Spoon into the prepared dish and cover loosely with kitchen paper. Cook on full for 9-10 minutes, turning the dish twice, until the cake has risen to the rim of the dish and the top is covered with small, broken bubbles and looks fairly dry.

4. If any sticky patches remain, cook on full for further 20-30 seconds. Allow to stand in the microwave for about 15 minutes (the cake will fall slightly) then take it out and leave to cool completely. Peel away the plastic wrap and dust the top with sifted icing sugar before serving. Store in an airtight container.

5. Enjoy!
