Description
I always strongly feel I lag behind when it comes to cakes .my confidence level when compared to other dishes I prepare is nil when it comes to cakes . So I just keep posponding experimenting with cakes . The guit of this cake issue does haunt me very often . So finally for the past 2 days have been surfing a lot to get hold of an easy yummy cake to prepare . Came across this recipe which is made in 2-3 minutes in the microwave . Gave a try and was so good that even before I could take a picture my hubby gobbled it of . So I ended up taking a picture of the left over batter mug finally . Another interesting matter is last night Hamidha Shabeer sent me a message with the recipe and pictures saying she tried a chocolate mug cake asking me to post the recipe . What a coincidence , well great people think a like .

- Beat egg , oil , vanilla essence and milk together in a large bowl .
- Add the dry ingredients maida , sugar , cocoa powder and baking powder to the wet mixture .

- Add Luke warm water one tablespoon at a time if the batter is too thick to get the right consistency .
- Pour the batter into microwave safe mugs and microwave for 2-3 minutes till done ( my cakes were ready in 2 minutes ) garnish with chocolate shavings or whipped cream .

Notes
Each microwave differs so better to check every one minute once if your cake is done . ( mine was done in 2 minutes )
Vegetarians can substitute egg with 3 tablespoons of think curd .
