- Check the cake after 2 minutes to see if it is done with a toothpick (toothpick will come out clean).
- If not, microwave for another minute.
- Overcooking will make the cake tough.
- While the cake is cooling, make the frosting.
Chocolate Frosting (Small Batch)
- In a bowl, mix the cocoa powder and powder sugar together.
- Add the butter, milk and vanilla.
- Mix until smooth.
- IF the frosting looks shiny (and not like frosting), add a little more powder sugar until no longer shiny and looks like frosting.
- Spread the frosting over your cooled cake and enjoy.
