The following recipes are easy to make and can be made quickly using your microwave. I know many people hesitate to cook in their microwave, but with the correct tools the microwave can save you time and money when cooking.

When I make a cake in the microwave I use Tupperware’s Heat N Serve containers. The 6 ¼ cup round container seems to work the best. There are other microwave containers out there, but I have only tried Tupperware’s. I do know that microwave cakes tend to come out hard when cooked in glass or corningware, so I don’t recommend you use these types of containers when trying to bake a cake in the microwave.

This is our all-time favorite cake. I always get asked for the recipe. The icing works best if you have a stand mixer. We love icing-I always double the icing.

Moist Chocolate Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup baking cocoa
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brewed coffee
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FAVORITE ICING:
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sift together dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil, coffee and milk; mix at medium speed for 1 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 more minutes. (Batter will be thin.) Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans (or two 8-in. round baking pans and six muffin cups). Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes. Cool cakes for 10 minutes before removing from pans. Cool on wire racks. Meanwhile, for icing, combine the milk and flour in a saucepan; cook until thick. Cover and refrigerate. In a bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add chilled milk/flour mixture and beat for 10 minutes. Frost cooled cake. Yield: 12 servings.
