For anyone else who is American and didn't know the conversions here they are;

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup coco powder
2 tsp baking powder
3/8 cup butter
1 2/3 cup water

I just made it, and it was good, but not great. It didn’t really taste like a cake but it definitely wasn’t bad and could probably fulfill your sweet tooth craving. My recommendations: add in some melted chocolate to the batter, add a bit more sugar, and replace the water with milk. And make sure you let the cake cool before adding the icing.

I really appreciate the people posting their honest reviews about this cake. It’s refreshing seeing negative feedback because usually people only say the food’s delicious so we need more honest reviews!!

For anyone wanting to make it: I tried it, and while it was good, it wasn’t the best. It took a lot longer to bake than she said to bake it for (it was still pretty much raw when I checked it after the 5-6 minutes), and it also sunk in the center. As for taste, it’s a lot more dense than a cake usually is, but it’s also super rich in flavor. It’s an okay recipe, but personally it’s not my favorite one in the whole world. So, if you want to try it for yourself, go for it, but keep in mind it’s not 100% perfect. I’d probably give this recipe a solid 6/10.

Take this with a grain of salt, however, because I did replace the water with almond milk, and I used the oven at a similar temperature to that of the microwave (didn’t have a microwave-safe cake mould) so that might be where I went wrong.

So I made this cake for my father's birthday, and, to be honest it was AMAZING. I did make a few changes like instead of butter I used oil same measurement, added 120 ml water less and it turned out amazing! it tastes better with sprinkles and icing. recommended trying! my whole family loved it it was the best tasting cake I made!

It didn’t have much of a taste but I tweaked the recipe and found that if you add more sugar and less coca then replaced the water with milk it tasted very good and like a real cake

Tip from a professional pastry chef: "bloom" the chocolate for a minute or two by mixing the chocolate powder with the melted butter/ warm water before adding in the rest of the ingredients, blooming the chocolate does wonders for the taste! Also, I highly recommend using a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste!

Tip: if you use yoghurt or sour cream, it'll make for an actual 'cake' texture and give it a more complex flavor. Also to complement the added sugar (i saw some people say the recipe is less sweet), add salt and expresso powder/instant coffee powder trusss the littlest amount elevates the chocolate. Happy -baking- microwaving!

Easy and convenient and delicious looking 🤤!! Especially good for last minute.

Did you know that if your toothpick comes out clean your cake is overcooked? Take it out with just a bit of moist cake on the end of the pick and you’ll have a perfectly moist cake.

for anyone having a hard time reading, she used MELTED BUTTER NOT EGGS.

[Bluekiro_]

[omatica]

Disclamer: I made this its pretty good but it doesnt have much taste and u can feel that there is water inside replace the water with milk

[drmether]

Here’s a tip for the warm water part. Add some instant coffee and it will greatly enhance the chocolate flavour!!

*Honest Review:* I did each and every step as mentioned in the video and the results were "meh". This recipe lacks sugar a lot, the thing that really carries this cake is the melted chocolate mixture on top. According to me, it requires more sugar in the base. Also, baking this in a microwave is a pain imo, it took longer than expected. It's alright but I personally won't be making this again.
