Quick Chocolate Cake (Microwave)

I tried it many times and it came out well.Since cardamom or vanilla essence is added,the egg smell gets diminished considerably.Strict Vegetarians can avoid egg. Busy people and who cannot prepare the batter, just get a Pillsbury Instant cake mix and follow the instructions on the cover.Try this at home and enjoy this Yummy Chocolate Cake deliciously.
