How was my experience making the microwave chocolate cake?
The original recipe is made with wheat flour, but I liked the ease so much that I tried to make it in the gluten-free version.
I tested the recipe twice, because the first time didn’t work. I put a smaller amount of cocoa than the recipe asked for because I think cocoa is too strong and I was afraid of getting too bitter. I also put it in a very large round glass container. I don't know which of the steps made the recipe go wrong, but it was super squishy and soft, never reached the point of cake, this is what I left 10 minutes not micro.
Second time, I used the right amount of cocoa and put it in a smaller, taller container, de plástico – é uma panela de microondas bem antiga da minha mãe.
Really the dough was a little bitter, so to make up for it i made a melted milk chocolate icing mixed with sour cream that was really sweet.
To follow these measures, I used plastic meters as these here.
Below I will leave the video showing how to make the recipe and also for you to see the plastic container that I used and it worked.
