How to Make Microwave Colorado Chocolate Cake

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined – don't overmix.
  3. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, then check for doneness. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, checking for doneness after each interval, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (it will not be completely clean). Total microwave time will likely be between 3-5 minutes depending on your microwave.
  5. Let the cake cool in the bowl for a few minutes before carefully inverting it onto a plate.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar or your favorite frosting (optional).
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
