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!

Love this recipe. Good and moist and so easy. I changed the topping a little. I heated a tablespoon of cream on the microwave for 30 seconds and then mixed the second tablespoon of chocolate chips in and poured it over the cake. Just an added twist to a great quick recipe.
Sounds like you made Chocolate ganache, which is so good! Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Very gummy and chewy- did not like it at all.
Microwave baking is definitely tricky business. Sorry it wasn’t your favorite.
It wasn’t that good. I think the recipes with the egg come out better.
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. 🙂
This could be very dangerous–and delicious!
