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.

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.

MAGIC CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE (MICROWAVE)
NOTE ADDED Jan 27, 2012: Please note that this is NOT a serious cake recipe! It is a fun recipe, for a quick choc snack. It may work for you, or you may have to make adjustments, or it might not work for you. Please do not judge this little recipe as if it is a chocolate cake -- as you will see from the reviews, they range from "great!" to "awful!" LOL! ORIGINAL INTRO: This recipe is doing the e-mail rounds! I do not know where it originated, but if you have kids, teenagers, or a sweet tooth yourself, it works!! A chocolate cake in a mug, for one person! Do use a LARGE mug! I never, ever post recipes like this which I have not made, and I'm not a microwave fan, but this one, for parents of the above-mentioned people, just has to be posted. Delicious with whipped cream, ice cream or custard, they say! It must be great to mix a choc cake in a mug, and have a hot "cake" within 3 minutes!!

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE
This was a saving grace for my husband who was craving dark chocolate one night. Low fat, and will definitely stop the cravings! Sauce can be drizzled for a topping or poured to make a pudding. My son also likes the sauce to make dairy-free milkshakes, and it's great to dip fruit in. Good hot or cold.

Steps:
- CAKE: Sift dry ingredients into a bowl (if using thick flour such as soy, it can work better if you sift twice) In another bowl mash banana and mix with liquid ingredients.
- Combine and stir both together till well blended.
- Pour into a lightly oiled microwave cake dish (I use a ring dish).
- Cook high heat (use turntable) 6 to 8 minutes or until cake tests done.
- SAUCE: In a bowl, mix a small amount of milk with cornstarch to create a paste.
- In a saucepan, combine cocoa, sugar/syrup and salt.
- Gradually add milk and cornstarch mix until smooth.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until desired consistency.
- Stir in vanilla etc.
- If mixture needs to thicken, take some out of saucepan and mix with cornstarch.
- For Vegan do not use milk [dairy].
Tips:
- Use a large enough bowl: The mixture will rise, so make sure you have a bowl that can accommodate the expansion.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Grease and flour the ramekin or mug: This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the cake for the correct amount of time: Overcooking will make the cake dry, so cook it for just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help the cake to set.
Conclusion:
Microwave chocolate cake is a quick and easy dessert that can be made in just a few minutes. It's perfect for when you're short on time or when you have a sudden craving for chocolate. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
