EASY MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is a quick and easy chocolate cake you can cook in the microwave in 2 minutes. And it tastes great. Really! The consistency is dense and cakey. It would go well with chocolate (or your favorite) chips, nuts, or served warm with hot fudge. This cake, 'born' out of a pregnancy craving, worked out amazingly!

Steps:
- Spray a medium microwave-safe bowl with non-stick spray and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk; blend together. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; blend into the mixture until smooth. Pour into greased bowl.
- Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Since all microwaves cook differently, adjust the cooking time to accommodate your machine. To serve, let the cake cool five minutes, then cover the bowl with a plate and turn both bowl and plate upside down so the cake falls onto the plate.

HOT FUDGE PUDDING CAKE (MICROWAVE)
I grew up with a dessert called Hot Fudge Pudding Cake. It was a package mix. This is the closest to the original recipe I've had. Similar to other brownie cakes listed but less ingredients and microwave cooked. One of my all time favorites.

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CHERRY SNACK CAKE
This microwave recipe for cake was demonstrated at a Tupperware party to showcase their microwave cookware. You don't need Tupperware's bundt pan to make this, but it must be micro safe and it must be a ring mold shape or the middle won't cook properly. It was really tasty and makes a nice snack cake, even if it isn't the prettiest looking cake I've ever made. The cherry pie filling makes it rather moist - and no, there is no butter or oil in this recipe.

Steps:
- You will need a large plastic, microwave safe bundt pan or ring mold for this recipe.
- Do not follow directions on cake mix box- just dump the dry mix into a bowl and add the cherry pie filling and the eggs.
- Mix well.
- Pour into the plastic bundt pan (I spray mine with nonstick baking spray first) and place in your microwave on HIGH for approximately 12 minutes- or until a toothpick comes out clean; NOTE: Older microwaves and those without a spinning base will probably require a bit longer cook time, and you will also need to rotate the pan 1/4 turn every 4 minutes or so for more even baking).
- Let cool upside down on a wire rack.
- Use a knife to help release the edges from the mold.

QUICK LOW CARB CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE IN A MICROWAVE MUG

MICROWAVE MEXICAN RESTAURANT SWEET CORN CAKE
Copy Cat Recipe. I wanted a quick recipe to copy the sweet corn cakes that are served at Mexican restaurants like El Torito and Chi Chi's. This is ready to eat in about 15 minutes. If you don't have masa harina flour on hand, you can add an additional 1/4 cup of yellow cornmeal, but the masa harina flour adds the authentic taste to this dish. For a less sweet dish, reduce granulated sugar to 1/3 cup. For a firmer sweet corn cake, microwave an additional 3-minutes.

5-MINUTE MICROWAVE NUTELLA® CAKE
As a poor starving college student, this recipe is one of my favorites. It is quick, cheap, and 1-portion size. I actually make about 6 servings of the dry ingredients ahead of time, then add the liquid later. The dry is about 11 tablespoons. A whipping cream or ice cream topping completes this heavenly dessert. Can substitute peanut butter for hazelnut spread, but cut the portion to 1 1/2 tablespoon. You can increase cocoa powder and hazelnut spread to 3 tablespoons each and substitute almond extract for vanilla if desired.

MICROWAVE BROWNIE CAKE
Created this in a dorm room when all the mug cake recipes I found were terrible. It's super easy to make and to memorize, and if you only use one mug, a tablespoon measure, and a spoon, you have a lot fewer dishes to do. Easy to make in under 5 minutes with minimal mess, so enjoy! And never feel bad about eating the entire thing yourself.

Steps:
- Mix bilk, butter, and sugar in a small microwave safe bowl.
- Add flour, cocoa and baking soda to the bowl. Mix so that there are no lumps.
- Microwave on high for 1 - 1:30 minutes (depends on the microwave- mine comes out in 1 minute). The cake will spring back on touch when done.
- Let stand for couple of seconds.
- Serve with chocolate sauce or just plain ice-cream. Enjoy.
Tips:
- Choose the right mug: Use a large mug that can hold at least 1 cup of batter. The mug should be microwave-safe and have a wide mouth so that the cake can rise properly.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
- Microwave the cake in short bursts: Microwave the cake in short bursts of 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking the doneness of the cake after each burst. This will help to prevent the cake from overcooking.
- Let the cake cool before frosting: Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Microwave cakes are a quick and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can have a delicious cake that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So next time you're craving something sweet, don't reach for a store-bought cake. Make your own microwave cake instead!
