Take a microwave safe bowl and grease them with butter and maida and pat it well so that the maida reaches all the nook and corner of the bowl.This helps the cake to flip out of the bowl easily. Microwave this for about 7-8mins(microwave mode) When its done leave it untouched for about 15-20mins and once it gets cooled flip it to a plate and pour the chocolate glaze above it.
