Recipe for cake in microwave

Chocolate cake baked directly in a paper cup in the microwave.

I made these fun cakes for teaching a 6th-grade cooking class.

I was invited to conduct a “Masterchef event” focusing on equipment and molecular gastronomy. 

An easy cake made directly in a paper cup and in the microwave. It was a big hit among the kids.

Notes

The cake can easily be made gluten-free by replacing the wheat flour with, for example, red Finax gluten-free flour mix.
