Let’s get started with this foolproof microwave chocolate cake recipe.

Ingredients:

For the Cake Batter:

✔ All-Purpose Flour (Maida) – 1 cup
✔ Cocoa Powder – ½ cup
✔ Sugar (Powdered) – ¾ cup
✔ Baking Powder – 1 tsp
✔ Baking Soda – ½ tsp
✔ Salt – a pinch
✔ Milk – ½ cup (room temperature)
✔ Oil or Melted Butter – ¼ cup
✔ Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
✔ Lemon Juice or Vinegar – 1 tbsp
✔ Warm Water – ½ cup

For the Chocolate Glaze (Optional):

✔ Dark Chocolate (chopped or chocolate chips) – ½ cup
✔ Milk or Fresh Cream – ¼ cup
✔ Butter – 1 tsp

Step-by-Step Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, sieve together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
2️⃣ In another bowl, whisk together sugar, milk, oil (or melted butter), vanilla essence, and lemon juice (or vinegar) until the sugar dissolves.
3️⃣ Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture while stirring continuously.
4️⃣ Add warm water little by little and mix until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 2: Microwave Baking

1️⃣ Grease a microwave-safe cake dish or glass bowl with oil or butter.
2️⃣ Pour the batter into the dish and tap it gently to remove air bubbles.
3️⃣ Place the dish in the microwave oven and set the power to full (high power, usually 800W-900W).
4️⃣ Microwave for 5-7 minutes (time may vary slightly depending on the microwave power).
5️⃣ Insert a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, your chocolate cake is ready. Otherwise, keep it in the microwave for another 1-2 minutes and check again. Always take precautions to prevent burning, especially if you’re making it for the first time. Keep checking the cake at short intervals using a toothpick to ensure it cooks evenly.
6️⃣ Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the dish.

Step 3: Preparing the Chocolate Glaze (Optional but Yummy!)

1️⃣ Heat chopped dark chocolate and milk (or cream) in the microwave for 30 seconds.
2️⃣ Stir well until smooth, then add 1 tsp butter for extra shine.
3️⃣ Pour the warm glaze over the cake and spread evenly.

Step 4: Serving & Enjoying!

✔ Garnish with chocolate shavings, nuts, or sprinkles.
✔ Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a cup of coffee.
✔ Enjoy your homemade, microwave-baked chocolate cake!
