Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until fully blended.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until combined and smooth, but avoid overmixing.
Crack the eggs into the mixture and whisk until just incorporated. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey treat.
Pour the batter into a lightly greased (or parchment-lined) microwave-safe baking dish or a 1.5-quart microwave-safe loaf pan. Spread it out evenly.
Microwave the cake on high for 5 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your microwave wattage; begin checking for doneness at 4 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Once done, carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool in the dish for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy your quick and delicious chocolate pound cake!
