How to Make Microwave Chocolate Snack Cake

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Add the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour batter into a greased 8-inch microwave-safe cake pan.
  5. Microwave on high for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage; start with 18 minutes and add 1-2 minutes as needed.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
