I love this chocolate cake recipe because it’s so easy and quick to put together, and the results are amazing - fluffy, moist and delicious. Unlike most chocolate cake recipes, you simply add all your ingredients to a blender, whizz them up for ten to twenty seconds, and that’s the batter made! You really can get this chocolate cake ready for the oven in about a minute! In this recipe, I’ve also given you a recipe for a delicious chocolate glaze, but you can decorate this cake however you want.
How to make Blender Chocolate Cake
Scroll down for amounts of ingredients
Step 1
Add the following ingredients to a blender in this EXACT order:
Milk
Melted butter
1 egg
Sugar
Cocoa powder
All purpose flour
Baking soda
Lemon juice (add this on top of the baking soda)
Pinch of salt
Step 2
Blend the batter on medium/high for ONLY 10 - 15 seconds. We just want the batter to combine. Unplug your blender, then scrape the sides and bottom of the blender jug. Plug the blender back in and blend again for another 5 - 10 seconds. DO NOT OVER BLEND.
Step 3
Give the batter one last scrape with your spatula and transfer the batter in an 8 inch (20 cm) cake pan, greased and lined with parchment paper.
Step 4
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 170 °C or 340 °F for about 20 minutes. As usual do the toothpick test to make sure it's done. Do not over bake!
Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes and then cover in glaze. This cake is delicious both warm or room temp.
For the chocolate glaze
Combine cocoa, powdered sugar, milk and a pinch of salt.

Pro Tips
If you’re using a high powered blender, blend on medium and make sure to not over mix your blender. As soon as the ingredients combine, stop blending! It should take in total 10 - 15 seconds, tops.
For safety reasons, remember to ALWAYS UNPLUG your blender before touching the inside of the blender.
