Description
5 minute chocolate mug cake . Recipe and picture sent to me by Hamidha Shabeer . I have not yet tried this recipe but sure will be really good. Actually the day i tried the Nutella 2 minutes mug cake , Hamidha Shabeer tried this cake at her place. As i mentioned before great people think a like. Hamidha Shabeer and myself are far relatives. Every time i get to meet her in any gathering in the family, it’s like a smile first, a hi that follows and then a bye finally. That’s all . Only through my page have i got so close with her and realized that we both are so similar . thanks to my page for that and thank you Hamidha Shabeer (pappu) for the recipe, picture and the enormous encouragement from your side.
Ingredients
Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| flour | 4 tablespoons |
| sugar (white or brown) | 5 tablespoons |
| unsweetened cocoa powder | 2 tablespoons |
| baking powder | 3 teaspoon |
| egg | 1 |
| milk | 1 tablespoon |
| butter (or any neutral oil) | 3 tablespoons |
| salt (if using unsalted butter) | A pinch |
| vanilla extract (optional) | 2 drops |
Method
- Get your hands on two microwave safe coffee mugs that can hold about 250ml liquid (basically, nothing too small or the cake will spill over while cooking).
- Halve the quantity of flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and sugar and add into each mug. Mix well with a fork.
- Then halve the quantity of milk, butter, and vanilla and add into each mug. Break egg into another small bowl, whisk with a fork and add half of it into each mug. Stir well until all the ingredients mix well. Make sure there is no flour stuck to the bottom of the mug.
- Add one mug at a time to the microwave and cook on medium heat for 2 mins. Every microwave acts differently and mine is a very basic one with just two knobs, one for heat level (low, medium, high) and one for time. I kept mine on medium and set each mug at 2 mins.
- The cake turned out perfect. If your microwave can show power levels, etc, keep it at medium and start at 2 mins. You can adjust it once you take a look at your cooked cake.
