About Microwave Chocolate Cake Recipe
To celebrate this day, i am having a special recipe for you all. Many of my viewers has asked me whether we can make cake in microwave or stove top. My answer for that will be yes we can make and i will post that recipe soon. So here is the answer for the first part, microwave cake baking. I have a yummy moist eggless chocolate cake recipe which can be made in microwave. And i will answer the second part, which is stove top baking soon.
This recipe makes a small round cake. If you wanna make a bigger cake, simply double the recipe and use a bigger pan. And you could frost the cake with whatever icing you like. Check out this link for all icing recipes.
And if you are in mood for more microwave single serving icing. Check out my Nutella Mug Cake & Chocolate Cherry Cake.

Notes
2) If you want to cover the entire cake, then double the quantity of chocolate for icing.
3) My oven's maximum temperature is 800 watt. And the cake was done in 4 mins. So keep a eye on your cake.
4)This cake wont rise much, But it will rise a little. So don't over fill the bowl. Fill it halfway through.
5)You could use melted butter for oil.
6)Grease the bowl well, so the cake doesn't stick to the pan.
7)Allow the cake to cool completely before inverting.
8)Use little sour curd, that will react with baking soda and make the cake spongy.

How many eggs instead of the yoghurt and baking soda mixture?
Aarthi
@Sanober ShaikhAdd 1 egg..but you have to add baking soda in flour and mix.

@MuktaYes u can add chocolate bar. But add 3 tblspn more flour. This wont be chocolate cake anymore..it will be vanilla cake with chocolate pieces.

Also, will margarine work instead of butter? Thanks, can't wait to make it!

Hi Aarthi.. I love your blog. I tried many of your recipes. Today I tried your microwave chocolate cake it was okay on sides but it's too hard in the middle and got completely dry. I followed your instructions as it is. But I couldn't figure out where I went wrong. Can you help me with that. I wanna try this cake again.
Aarthi
@Divyaoi think u have over baked it..Each oven varies, next time reduce the cooking time. And dont over mix the batter, if you over mix, it will turn hard
Aarthi
@Saloni Kocharyes u can make it as a big cake, just triple the batter or increase it as per your pan size and increase the time as well.

Hello Aarthi,
This is Aishwarya.I am totally new for baking and was surfing to bake an eggless cake(since-vegetarian). Your post impressed me as it had step by step procedure with pictures. I did try your chocolate cake and it came out really well! Just blindly followed your measure; which turned out an awesome cake!
This was my first chocolate cake! Thank you!
Zim
Hi Aarthi,
First of all, I'd like to thank you so much for this recipe. Seriously the best eggless chocolate cake ever and so many compliments.
I don't have a microwave oven so I tried this in a bundt pan in both OTG (15-20 mins at 180 C) and Pressure Cooker (30-40 mins). Both of them were a success. The cake turned out soft and spongy.
This was a really easy recipe and very easy to assemble.
Thanks a lot and looking forward to try out more of your cake recipes.
