RECIPE 2: MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE
The microwave is one of the most wonderful inventions which has benefitted the blind. This chocolate cake is an easy and delicious recipe to make and I think it tastes even better than its oven-baked counterparts.
To pour oil into a teaspoon, simply pour your oil into a dish and dip your tablespoon into it. Keep the dish near the container you are using to mix the cake and transfer the tablespoon while holding your spoon as straight as possible. It works quite well.
