Pearl's Moist Chocolate Cake W/ Chocolate Frosting

The cake you can see attached to this article was actually microwave-baked. I find baking small recipes more creative than ever with a microwave oven; cakes will not fall even if the oven door is opened. Hmmm. I would always check on the changes happening to my batter every once in a while. But was absolutely not a good idea.Hehe
