7 minute Microwave Chocolate Eggless Butterless Bachelor Cake | Kukskitchen

My little 5 year old loves cooking and helping around in the kitchen. He calls himself my little Elf helper. Bless! . It is so much fun cooking and especially baking with your little one, I'm sure a lot of you would agree. Today he wanted to try a cake by himself and  I could only let him use the microwave, for obvious reasons. This would be his first - he is growing :)

This recipe is perfect for that Bachelor boy who wants to whip up a quick tasty spongy delite away from home on a festive day. It goes brilliantly with some vanilla icecream if you wanted to wooo a special friend /friends by cooking for them.

My son wanted a payassam and I was too lazy to do it the hob method. Microwave was the way forward. :-) And the result is.........

Boiling milk in a microwave is always scary; one tiny minute more than needed and u end up having to clean up the whole oven. I kept on looking thru the glass window every other minute. Well, now I know the time needed for the perfect taste, still leaving my microwave clean :-)
