-1/3 cup of sugar

-1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

-2 tablespoons of melted butter

-1/4 cup of milk

-1 egg

In a pan, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, melted butter, milk, and egg together. Stir until the consistency of the batter becomes smooth and thick.

Cover with a lid and cook on low for ten to fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, make the chocolate frosting. All you need to do is melt some chocolate chips to produce a creamy, rich, fudgy frosting.

When the cake is finished cooking, take it off the heat and pour the chocolate topping all over. Serve the cake with a scoop of your favorite ice cream! Or top it off with a handful of raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream.

Now you’ll be able to whip up a chocolate cake at a moment’s notice!
