Eggless 5 minutes Microwave Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache Frosting

Happy and Merry Christmas for all my viewers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's busy time packing gifts and baking cakes for your beloved ones. Here's my simple and quick recipe for this Christmas especially for the busy mom's in the kitchen.

As a beginner in baking I just selected this simple microwave recipe which I have tried  a couple of times. Cakes done in microwave though may not be as softer like the one baked in an oven ,still it will be soft. So if you are carving for something chocolaty and can't go for all those baking process, then this will be a right choice. Frosting adds additional beauty to it. What's more to delay?try it!!

For the Frosting.:

3. Scoop it on the cake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 30 mints and serve.
I sprinkled some sugar strands to decorate it.

Notes:
1. Just check the cake after 4 mints as it may vary with oven. Mine took completely 5 mins .
2. If you are decorating do it before you refrigerate it. So that it sticks well.
3. You can also try  butter cream frosting or just dust with some icing sugar.
