2 Minutes Coffee Cake
Single or small serving recipes using mostly microwave ovens are super simple, quick and delicious. They are so convenient for individuals who live alone or those who are the only ones living low carb or keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. This mini version of the coffee cake is so easy to put together and all it takes is just about 2-min to cook in the microwave and you get a soft, fluffy, moist and flavorful cake.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. Warm up the milk in the microwave or on the stove top until it's hot enough to melt the coffee powder. Then add the instant coffee powder and stir until dissolved. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
4. Add all the wet ingredients including the coffee mixture and mix until well combined. The batter is smooth and moderately thick.
5. Grease and line a 5-inch square glass baking dish with parchment paper. You can also use a mug, cup, ramekin etc. In the video, I made another batch and used a cup of 200 g capacity with 4-inch diameter. I find that this cup portion is quite big, so I suggest you make into 2 portions with a smaller cup.
6. Microwave for 90 seconds and if insufficient, microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds. It is done when the top feels firm.
7. Meanwhile, make the frosting. It is best to freeze the beater and bowl for about 15 to 30 minutes before using. Then add the cream, powdered sweetener and coffee powder into the bowl. I added an extra bowl with ice cubes at the bottom as the weather here is extremely hot, but this is optional. Beat with a handheld mixer at high speed until the texture is smooth, creamy and firm. Chill in the fridge until needed.
8. Once the cake is cooled completely, spoon the coffee cream onto the top of the cake and spread evenly. I drizzled some melted chocolate over the cream. If you wish to do the same, just melt about 20 g unsweetened dark chocolate in the microwave and drizzle with a spoon. Then I topped with some chopped roasted pecans.
