Today we are making this amazing, moist chocolate cake smothered in hot chocolate, perfect for holidays or when you just cannot wait for your cake to cool. This takes 5 minutes to make and you can serve this immediately. Have it with some vanilla ice cream on the side and you will love it. If you like gooey chocolate cake you have to try this. The combination of moist cake with hot chocolate is amazing. Make this 5 minute hot chocolate cake in microwave and you will fall in love with it.

Bake it in the microwave on high powder for 5-8 minutes. The baking time may vary depending on microwave and the container you are using for baking. As I am using thin plastic container my cake took 5 minutes for baking. The most it will take will be 8 minutes and do not over bake it.
Let the cake rest in the same container for 5 minutes, then run a knife around and take the cake out on a wire stand. Let it cool down.
