Fast and easy. Cake.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (3 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) granulated sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cup (2 1/4 ounces) cocoa, divided
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup warm water

Directions

  1. Combine flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a 1 1/2 quart shallow microwave safe dish.

  2. Add egg yolks, butter, vanilla, chocolate chips, and water to the mix, and stir until almost combined (batter will be lumpy). Stir remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle over batter.

  3. Microwave on high power until puffed, bubbling, and set (but still slightly jiggles), 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave and serve warm.
