Are you craving for a quick chocolate cake? But running out of cocoa powder and chocolates? Fret not. Here is my 1-minute Eggless Microwave Chocolate Cake with Hershey’s Syrup recipe. It is a quick fix for that sweet tooth craving. Check out the detailed recipe with step-wise pictures and please don’t skip the notes section.
Eggless Microwave Chocolate Cake
Here comes my third recipe under the theme “Chocolate dishes” – Eggless Microwave Chocolate Cake with Hershey’s Syrup. Earlier I posted Oreo Milkshake and Nutella Cookies, and now it’s time for some cake recipe, not an elaborate one but a sweet and simple one.
Hot chocolate and chocolate milkshakes are vaandu recent favorites and this time instead of buying cocoa powder I bought the chocolate syrup. IMO, it is quite convenient. And I never thought of using it in baking. So last week after making the Nutella cookies, vaandu wanted to make mug cakes also, and that’s when I decided to try the chocolate flavor.
We did have a couple of failed attempts but finally got this perfect measure that we liked. I wanted to name this as a cake brownie as I felt it’s more between cake and a brownie but vaandu said it’s more like a cake and hence went with chocolate cake. :-) But I did have it with ice-cream and clicked it with ice-cream too.
Here is the recipe that we tried.
Eggless Microwave Chocolate Cake with Hershey’s Syrup Recipe
Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour – 2 tbsp.
- Sugar – 1 tbsp.
- Hershey’s Syrup – 2 tbsp.
- Baking powder – ¼ tsp
- Melted butter or Oil – ½ tsp
Steps:
- Add all the ingredients in a microwave-safe ramekin or mug.
- Combine them well and make sure there are no lumps.
- Microwave it for 1 minute.
- Let it cool for 45 seconds and enjoy it with or without ice-cream.
Notes:
- If using butter, make sure you are using the melted ones. The thick ones don’t work well for the microwave ones. If not vegetable oil or corn oil or canola oil will work.
- The time might vary depending on your microwave setting, but for this measure, it should not take more than 70 to 75 seconds and do not cook beyond that. The cake will set in resting time.
- If you microwave for more than 75 seconds, the cake becomes hard.
- Also, I would recommend serving this immediately or consuming it within half an hour. It hardens after that. I know mug cakes are to enjoy immediately but just wanted to update as we tried keeping it for more than half an hour.
- I did not add any milk. But a tsp of milk will yield more smooth texture.

We made tonight and loved topped w a scoop of ice cream. Added a tsp of peanut butter too ? Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this and this comment. :-) Peanut butter and ice cream combo sounds delicious.
Perfect for a chocolate fix when I didn’t have any coco powder to make brownies. It was a little sweet though, next time I will leave out the sugar and just use the chocolate. *I did use a tsp milk.

This is a perfect recipe for those sudden sweet craves and for a chocolate loving sweet tooth person like me. And in summers, with a scoop of ice-cream, a quick and yummy dessert is ready in no time!
Very true Usha. Thanks, much.
My mixture itself was hard and difficult to mix all the ingredients smoothly. What would have gone wrong?
Sorry to hear that. Is the APF fresh? If it’s aged, it might become hard.
I am sorry I’m new to baking. I used maida and it’s fresh.
Hi Anudeepa, sorry for the delayed reply. Maida is all-purpose flour. Maybe the brand you are using might require more liquid. Try adding 1 tbsp of milk or warm water. That should help.
This microwave cakes are really quick and can satisfy your chocolate craving. Recently I baked a microwave mug cake with oats. Your cake looks stunning and pairing it with chocolate syrup drizzled Icecream…Heaven……..
Thanks a lot, Renu. Mug cake with oats sounds very interesting. I will check that out.
