This microwave chocolate cake is quick and easy to make and cooks 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 or nuts or served warm with hot fudge. This cake, "born" out of a pregnancy craving, worked out amazingly.
