When I shared my Apple Crisp For One I told you I would have at least one more single serving dessert, & here it is! Like, who doesn’t love chocolate? When you need a small chocolate fix, this is the perfect dessert for one! A simple microwaveable chocolate cake with melted chocolate chips as frosting. You can also eat this one with a scoop of ice cream, which is how I prefer it! Yum! And I am not saying these are healthy desserts by any means, just makes enough for one (or two if you really are worried about calories.) Shove chocolate chips in the center for a more gooey, molten type cake. Have fun with it!
Single Serving Chocolate Cake
Yield 1 Serving
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp cocoa
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

Yum! I love single serving desserts and this chocolate cake looks so so good!
Kathleen says
Seriously, I think you are going to make me put on all of the weight I lost! This looks so good!
Debra Hawkins says
I love this! Most of the time a full dessert is just asking for trouble around here!
LuckyRedHen says
I don’t realize that I want chocolate cake until I need it and don’t want to wait. This is a perfect solution! Thanks 🙂
Yvonne says
Seriously – the single serving concept is totally brill. If it’s around I will eat it. My will power most often is lacking. I’m a HUGE fan of Chili’s Molten Lava Cake so like you said with chocolate chips in the center it would indeed be divine.

Hillary says
Can plain yogurt be substituted for the milk?
Amber Brady says
I don’t see why not. Let me know if it works!

This could be very dangerous–and delicious!
Adele Rivers says
It wasn’t that good. I think the recipes with the egg come out better.
Amber Brady says
I haven’t tried the egg kind yet, but will have to soon. This one can get dry if your microwave has high wattage. Less time is better to keep it moist & delicious. Thanks for your honest input though. 🙂
Kara says
Very gummy and chewy- did not like it at all.
Amber Brady says
Microwave baking is definitely tricky business. Sorry it wasn’t your favorite.
