There are so many gateau au chocolat recipes, but I wanted an easy recipe without using the oven. I finally arrived at this recipe after many failures. It's not too fluffy and not too moist. It's so good that I can't even believe it was microwaved.

Don't whisk the pancake mix, but make sure to mix well so that the mixture is not lumpy. For 2 servings. Recipe by Maiyochi mama

Steps

1

These are the main ingredients. I used this size heatproof container.
2

Place the butter in the heatproof container, and microwave for 20 seconds at 500 W to melt.
3

Dissolve the instant cocoa mix in the lukewarm water in a bowl. Add the melted butter and beaten egg in that order, and mix well.
4

Grease the container with vegetable oil using a brush or a paper towel
5

Add the pancake mix into the bowl and mix well so that the mixture is not lumpy.
6

Pour the mixture into the container, and tap it on the counter several times to remove air.
7

Microwave it for 2.5 minutes at 500 W.
8

This is right after microwaving. Remove from the microwave, and let it cool.
9

When it's cooled, it shrinks a little bit.

Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours, sprinkle on powdered sugar, and it's done.
