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
flour4 tablespoons
sugar (white or brown)5 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder2 tablespoons
baking powder3 teaspoon
egg1
milk1 tablespoon
butter (or any neutral oil)3 tablespoons
salt (if using unsalted butter)A pinch
vanilla extract (optional)2 drops

Method

  1. 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).
  2. Halve the quantity of flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and sugar and add into each mug. Mix well with a fork.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
