METHOD:

1. In a mixing bowl, sift in 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 cup of powdered sugar, half a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp of baking powder, 1 tbsp of baking soda and a pinch of salt.
2. Dissolve 1 tsp of instant espresso in half a cup of boiling water.
3. In the sifted dry ingredients add the wet ingredients one by one, i.e, half a cup of any flavorless oil (Vegetable oil, canola oil etc), half a cup of Buttermilk, half cup of coffee decoction and 1 tsp of Vanilla essence. 
4. Mix the wet and the dry ingredients with an electric hand blender or a balloon whisk or simply in food processor. 
5. Brush a microwave proof baking dish with some oil and add in this cake mix.
6. Bake in the full power of microwave (highest power setting - 900 Watt in my microwave) for 4 minutes.
7. Insert a toothpick in the middle to check whether its cooked through.
8. Frost the cake or serve it as it is with some chocolate sauce. Happy eating!!

NOTES:

1. It is always recommended to sift in the dry ingredients (flour,coco powder etc) in the wet mix to avoid any lumps and have a smooth batter.
2. Buttermilk makes any cake really soft. It is a good replacement of eggs. If you want to add eggs add 2 eggs for this recipe.
3. Use any kind of flavorless oil  such as refined oil, vegetable oil, canola oil etc.
4. Addition of coffee is optional. But coffee enhances the chocolate flavor. Add this and trust me you won't regret.
5. Bake in the full power of your Microwave. Mine is 900 watt in which I bake for 4 minutes exactly. The time of baking will vary based on your machine. 
6. You can use this same recipe to bake in the oven. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-40 minutes.
7. To check insert a toothpick in the center and it should come out clean.
8. You can decorate the cake with some ganache or frosting. But I like to have this cake hot drizzled with some chocolate syrup.
