90 Second Chocolate Lava Cake made with 3 ingredients in less than 2 minutes. Fastest chocolate cake recipe ever with a molten lava fudge filling!
Molten chocolate cake is a favorite dessert of mine, so I was thrilled when a friend told me how easy it was to make your very own individual cake. In 90 seconds. In the microwave. And you only need 3 ingredients, one of which is water!
It’s almost dangerous how easy it is to whip up this little dessert. Since we discovered the recipe, we’ve made it a few too many times at my house. How many other amazing treats can you whip up so quickly? Add a scoop of ice cream and enjoy!
Ingredients in 90 Second Chocolate Lava Cake
Chocolate cake mix – Any variety will do. You can even use a different flavor. I’ve tried all different types and for some reason, the Betty Crocker cake mixes taste the best to me in this recipe. You only use a little bit at a time so just keep a few boxes in your pantry and you can just use what you need when you need a chocolate fix!
Water
Hot fudge topping – Any brand or kind will work, but I like Hershey’s the best. Buy a jar and keep it in the fridge – each jar will make multiple cakes.
How to make Individual Molten Lava Cakes
In a microwave safe cereal sized bowl, mix cake mix and water together. (If you want them to look a little fancier, you can use a ramekin.
Use a spoon to add the hot fudge to the middle of the bowl. Don’t heat the fudge up or mix it in – just plop it right in the middle, straight out of the jar.
Microwave the bowl for 90 seconds. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Can you microwave more than one mug cake at a time?
You probably can microwave 2 or 3 cakes together, but for best results, just make one at a time. They only take 90 seconds, so you won’t have to wait that long for everyone in the family to get their own!
