Sidra asked for keeki (cake) for breakfast this morning. I didn’t have an oven nor any cake ingredients, so I whipped this one from things already in the kitchen. With a microwave, it only took five minutes from preparation to serving, perfect for a hungry, demanding kindergarten kid.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbs pancake mix flour
- 2 tbs milk cocoa powder
- 2 tbs sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tbs oil
- 3 tbs water/milk
- 2 chocochips cookies, crumbled
- raisins
Directions:
- Mix pancake mix flour, milk cocoa powder, and sugar in a microwave-safe container
- Pour in egg, oil, water/milk, blend together
- Add chocochips cookies crumbles and raisins
- Cover and cook in microwave in high power for approximately 3 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched
- Serve to hungry kid
I’ve made another batch using banana instead of raisins, and Sidra loves it too. And now I’m eating a piece of this cake with a scoop of madamia ice cream. Yummy!

You’re welcome, Katie!
Hi Office Busy Body, the kahlua is for my coffee because I don’T think my son is ready for that :P. I’ve also tried pouring kahlua over the cake just before eating it. Yummy!
I’m impressed it turned out so well! I’ve never had much luck with microwave-baked cakes – mine are either soggy or crumbly.
Did you also add some Kahlua too? 😛
How clever are you? I would have never thought to make homemade cake on the fly, especially with pancake mix and a microwave, Fun to find your blog, thank you for reading mine!
Oh my! that’s so handy! and quick! I’m gonna try it, but with my hungry demanding boyfriend! haha
