Believe it or not, I failed in my first try! I was so pissed I threw that recipe aside and started looking for another. So I found one and I made it the next day, and it turned out well
But I was still curious about the first recipe so I gave that another try, on the very same day, and guess what, it turned out well, too, and it's in fact, better than the other recipe haha..
When I read both recipes, it's in fact very clearly shown which one will gives better result
And when I gave a thought again what actually caused me to fail, it's either because of the gluten free flour I used, or because of me opening the microwave door to check every single minute during baking, or both are the culprit!
Anyway, I am now sharing both recipes. You may choose according to your preference
First recipe is from The Open Oven
This gives a pretty soft cake when eaten warm from the microwave, but it's dense when cool and rather chewy. It will turn soft again when warmed up
What you need:
(1 serving)
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp milo powder
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp self raising flour (original recipe used plain flour)
1/2 part of 1 lightly beaten egg
tiny pinch of salt
Method:
- When the melted butter is still hot, mix in milo and sugar, stir well til no lumps
- Add in egg, salt and flour, mix well
- Microwave for 1 1/2 min (600w). When the skewer comes out clean, it's ready
Sprinkle with more Milo powder makes the cake even more milo-ey, if there's such word LOL
The second recipe is actually the first recipe I tried and failed. Second try was a success and personally I prefer this recipe. It is from HERE
What you need:
(1 serving for a large mug)
4 tbsp milo powder
3 tbsp sugar (original recipe used 4tbsp)
4 tbsp self raising flour
4 tbsp oil (I used rice bran)
4 tbsp fresh milk
1 egg
Method:
Put all ingredients in the above order in a large mug. Stir well and microwave for 4mins (600w). It's done when skewer comes out clean
Here I made just half of the above recipe using 240ml size ramekin
