30 Minute Chocolate Cake (Buttermilk Brownies)

This is a moist, delicious cake that you can whip up in a hurry. I originally got it from a cookbook that my mom's cake decorating club, Mile High Cake Decorators, produced back in the 1970s. It was called "Mile High Favorites." All of the members of the club submitted their favorite recipes. I guess you could say it was like an early version of CookPad! This is my go-to cookbook, because it contains many family favs.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
The last six ingredients are intended for the icing.
- 2
CAKE: Heat oven to 375°F. In a microwave safe bowl, boil the butter, water and cocoa. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.
- 3
Add the buttermilk, baking soda, eggs and vanilla. Mix well and pour into a greased jelly roll pan or large cookie sheet with deep sides. I like to use a 21 x 15 sheet pan. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes.
- 4
Immediately after removing cake from oven, begin making your icing by heating the butter, buttermilk, and cocoa in the microwave. Let it boil for about one minute.
- 5
Pour the hot mixture into a large mixing bowl and slowly add the powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy and then add the vanilla.
- 6
Pour the icing over the warm cake and spread with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle with walnuts.

Guaranteed success for beginners on the first try! Even without an oven, you can easily make a delicious classic brownie cake using a rice cooker at home ♡FB:www.facebook.com/AnshaCuisineTips*There are 2 ways to use a Tatung rice cooker, which affect the texture:1. Use it like an electric rice cooker, without adding water to the outer pot.2. Add 1 cup of water to the outer pot and steam-bake. Once it switches off, let it sit to finish cooking.(Note: The rice cooker is designed to have water in the outer pot, so using the first method might be improper!)*The heat and timing for each brand of rice cooker or electric cooker may vary. The total time is about 40-50 minutes. 安夏Translated from Cookpad Taiwan -
15-Minute Chocolate Cake 15-Minute Chocolate Cake
When I was in the middle of exams so had no spare time. Even so, I really wanted to make a cake so I tried to think of something quick that I could just mix together and put in the microwave. It came out unexpectedly delicious! I measured the ingredients with spoons for even less washing up too.You can use a heat resistant bowl instead of a cake tin, just be careful about the size, as the cake will expand in the oven.I've heard that this cake can come out a bit hard. I think it's probably down to the type of microwave and the size of the tin that's being used so try microwaving the cake for a shorter amount of time (maybe 6 minutes, then take it out to see how far along it is). If you can pierce the cake with a skewer and it comes out clean, the cake is cooked. Recipe by Mnonijo cookpad.japan -
