When I first heard that you can make a cake in the microwave, I thought it was completely absurd. And then I tried it. It took me a while to get over the hilarity of making a cake in the microwave<\/em>, but that first attempt actually tasted okay! Over the last few months I’ve been tweaking my own recipe and I think I’ve finally nailed it: a cake batter that compensates for the microwave’s quirks (namely, drying things out and dulling flavors) and tastes amazing.<\/p>\n

With some coconut butter & maple syrup magic, this cake is actually moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus, it comes with a simple chocolate lava icing that you can make in the 2 minutes it takes to cook this cake. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

P.S. If you want to get all specific, this isn’t really a lava cake. Lava cakes are flourless cakes with runny centers, due to incredible amounts of eggs, butter and sugar. That’s obviously not what we’re doing here. This is more of a normal chocolate cake. However, it IS in the shape of a mountain, and it DOES have chocolate lava rolling down the sides… so I’m calling it a lava cake anyways:<\/p>\n
