How to Make Microwave Chocolate Pound Cake

  1. Grease and flour a 12-cup microwave-safe bundt cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup water, 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup sour cream.
  3. Using a mixer on low speed, mix until all ingredients are just moistened. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl frequently.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Microwave on 70% power for 9 minutes, then on 100% power for 6 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or the cake springs back when touched lightly in the center.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Invert the cake onto a wire rack or heatproof serving plate.
  10. Carefully remove the pan.
  11. Let the cake cool completely.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  13. Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled cake, allowing some to drizzle down the sides.
