M ETHOD :
1. Grease a 22cm silicone microwaveable
cake pan with a little oil and place a
circle of baking parchment in the
bottom.
2. Mix sugar, flour, cocoa and baking
powder in a bowl. In a jug, whisk the
oil, eggs, vanilla and 100ml hot water
until combined.
3. Add liquid ingredients to the dry
ingredients and mix thoroughly until
you have a lump-free batter. Pour
mixture into the cake pan and gently
tap to pop any air bubbles. Cover with
cling film.
4. Microwave on Full power (800 watts)
for 7 mins. Check if the cake is
cooked by poking a skewer into the
middle: if it comes out clean it is
ready.
5. For the ganache, melt the chocolate
on Half power (600 watts) for
approximately 2 mins, stirring every
30 secs until melted. Add the cream
and mix thoroughly until smooth and
glossy.
6. When the cake is cool, spread over
the ganache and scatter with the
sprinkles. Enjoy!
