I was pinterest-ing two days back and some pin took me indirectly to this site, where i found this awesome 1 minute microwave chocolate cake (single serving).
I bookmarked it immediately to try (If anybody's mind voice asks why instead of pinning I bookmarked, well there are so many pins in the To try board🤫). But today I am supposed to do a post here and thought of trying this simple cake as I was not in mood to do anything else, only a chocolate cake, that too in less time. So I tried and it came out amazingly delicious, the whole house was smelling chocolaty, my hands, my fingers, wow!!
So after a quick photo shoot, I tasted the warm cake (yeah I clicked that fast😇). It was so delicious, textured and soft as well. Even after I finished eating the cake, I had that chocolaty taste for sometime! Now this is my cup of cake!! So if dont think too much, the ingredients are so simple that everyone of you must have, go and try this one for you or your loved ones and get lost in the chocolaty cake…
Source: source recipe
Method
- Place 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon cocoa powder, 3 tablespoon flour, 2 teaspoon sugar, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ⅛ teaspoon salt(if adding) in a mixing bowl.
- Mix so that everything blends completely, evenly. Add liquids - 3 tablespoon milk and 1 tablespoon oil (I used coconut oil) and mix properly, no over mixing.
- Transfer to the baking dish - I used ramekin, you can use any microwave safe dish or even a microwave safe coffee mug. Microwave high for 40-60 seconds. Keep an eye after 40 seconds as it purely depends on your microwave oven. I did for 60 secs.
Notes
- If you are planning to invert the cake, then make sure to grease the dish before you pour the batter. If you are going to eat as such from the dish, then no need.
- The cake will rise while you microwave, but not much to get overflowed. Refer my ramekin, how much I have filled to get an idea.
- I used Van Houten cocoa powder and it was great.
- I recommend coconut oil as it was best in this cake.
Enjoy it warm with ice cream or custard or with some choco sauce / caramel sauce … Tastes soft and great even if cools down, right from the top till the bottom, its soft and delicious!
To show the cake texture until the bottom of the cake.

I'm seriously craving chocolate cake right now and I think I actually have these ingredients! I've never tried microwave cake before ... there's no time like the present!

Janani Kalyanam says
Raks,
My "First" attempt of making cakes started with this recipe. It was OK for first time but have some doubts:
1. I used boiled "AAvin" milk. Should i use the non boiled milk?
2. How long should i beat the batter, approximately till what consistency.
RAKS KITCHEN says
You can try fresh milk without boiling, I used raw milk without boiling. So try again and see the difference, I am not sure...
You should beat until everything mixes well without lumps. No specific time.
DOCtoR says
hi i am new o your blog,i tried this cake just now but it was bitter and a light brown ,non-tempting color.could u please tell me the exact quantity of ingredients?i used cadbury coco powder
Cindrella says
Hi Raks,First of all, i must appreciate your efforst to make this site very attractive and keeping the recipes very simple. I'm a newbie into the kitchen,however have learnt to manage the kitchen, I refer your site regularly and try new dishes. I tried this this cake twice, i used 1.5tbspoon of corn flour and 1.5 tbspoon of Maida. The cake was ready in 1 min but i didnt get the fluffy kind of the cake..I could taste the flour, but it was cooked. It tested that inserting the knife and it didnt stick to it. What do you think could be the problem ? What do i get that floury kind of taste in the cake rather than being very soft and spongy
Pragya says
Hi! Can you please tell me the quantities for the ingredients?
How much cocoa powder, flour, sugar, etc?
RAKS KITCHEN says

Cake had an oily taste and smell.. How to avoid
Raks anand says
Which oil you used? It should not give smell like that as choco and vanila will give you nice aroma
dipti gupta says
Hi Raks
I had sugar craving so searched for something quick. Found this recipe. It came out well. It was moist and yummy.
Param Pillay says
Hi Raks
Could you pls give the exact measurement ?
Journey Through Eternity says
Can we use butter instead, I am not a fan of the oil smell in cakes
Raks anand says
Yes you can use same amount melted butter.
Kalyani Dadi says
Hi Raks,
I really loved your website :-)I tried Mango Kulfi,Badusha and they came perfect.Can you please tell me what is the setting you put in Microwave to cook this cake..i tried many times to cook the cake in MW by seeing many sites but it didn't turned up well.Mine is IFB 23Ltrs. It is really appreciated If you can help me with proper MW settings.

For this specific recipe, just microwave in high for a minute, that's it. Unless otherwise the recipe calls for other settings, just cook in microwave high.
