Three-minute chocolate coffee cake

So I just read a recipe posted by Jaya Nair and I had to try it out because it looked so yum and quick. A cake which can be microwaved in 2 minutes. This was too good to be true. But no, Jaya seems to be a messiah of sweet cravings which can be sated in minutes. May the dessert gods bless her. I no longer have to crave a hot chocolate fudge sundae from Nirula's at an unearthly hour. I can just whip this up. It's also a super-easy dessert to make if guests arrive suddenly. It took me 10 minutes from taking out the ingredients to taking the cake out of the microwave. I did tweak her recipe just slightly, because I'm a coffee and alcohol fiend. 

Recipe

4 tbsp flour

4 tbsp sugar (white or brown)

3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbsp instant coffee

1 tsp baking powder

1 egg

3 tbsp milk

1 tbsp dark rum

3 tablespoons cooking butter (I used 2 tbsps butter and 1 tbsp saffola veggie oil)

2 drops of vanilla extract (optional)

How I made it:

Mixed the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add egg, milk, butter/oil, vanilla essence and rum. Fold well. Pour into a microwavable dish. Remember it will rise because of the baking powder, so your dish should be at least 1.5 inches above the level of the batter. Microwave for 3 mins. And it’s done. And was delicious.
