Microwave Chocolate Cherry Cake with Chunky Cherry Coulis ( No Egg, No Butter, Takes Just 2 Mins to Make)

  

We have been cleaning the entire house today after some busy weeks. Suddenly i started to crave for chocolate, i don't know how it hit for me..I wanted something sweet, chocolaty so badly. When i searched my fridge i found the Del Monte Cherry which was left from my panna cotta dish. I decided to use that so i can post it for the recipe carnival.

  

I decided to microwave the cake because i cannot wait for another 20 mins to dig in. So i cameup with this recipe. I also made a wonderful coulis using Del Monte Red Cherry.

This coulis made the cake so fresh and yummy. I loved the warm cake which is drizzled with this yummy sauce, Traditionally the coulis should be strained, but i left it chunky because i want some texture in the coulis. I also drizzled this coulis over some icecream and had it, it was like heaven. 

Someother option to use this coulis. Drizzle it over pancakes,waffles,brownies. The Option is pretty much endless
