To bake a Chocolate cake in microwave , is my long time due. I don't have a microwave at home and so i was postponing to make this cake. As valentines day is nearing, it thought it is the right time to post this eggless chocolate mug cake in microwave. I baked this cake in my friend's place and it took exactly 2 minutes for me to bake this cake. If you are craving for an chocolate cake or kids are asking for a quick snack just make this cake in just 2 minutes.The cake turned out super soft and moist. The recipe i have adapted from Here.
2 minutes mug cake
Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 2-3 Mins | Serves : 1
All purpose flour 4 tblsp
Cocoa Powder 1 tblsp
Milk 3 tblsp
Oil 3 tblsp
Baking powder 1/4 tsp
Sugar 2 tblsp
Vanilla essence 1/4 tsp
All purpose flour 4 tblsp
Cocoa Powder 1 tblsp
Milk 3 tblsp
Oil 3 tblsp
Baking powder 1/4 tsp
Sugar 2 tblsp
Vanilla essence 1/4 tsp
Method:
- In a bowl, combine the all puropse flour (maida), cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Add sugar , vanilla essence , oil and milk to this.
- Mix well . Grease a microwave mug with oil and pour this mixture into the mug.
- The cake batter should fill half of the mug. The cake will rise on baking.
- I made in a cup which holds a liquid of 250ml.
- Microwave high for 2 minutes. The cake will get cooked in 2 minutes.Insert a tooth pick to see whether it is cooked inside or not.
- I just topped with chocolate shavings.
Note:
- You can add 1/4 tsp of instant coffee powder .
- You can serve this with Vanilla ice cream too.
- Chocolate chips can be added to the batter or can be added as an topping too.

ReplyDeleteDeepa
simple and quick chocolate cake !
ReplyDeleteHi Jeyashree, simple and good one.... if I increase the qty (for eg double the given measurements), should i microwave it proportionately (4 min?)
ReplyDeletethanks
thanks manjula, YOu cook for 3 minutes and insert a fork on the center. If it comes out clean then it is done. Do not over cook, it will become hard
Deletethanks Jeyashri..... tried and came out well...
DeleteLovely.its in my try list for long time :) u have made it very well!
ReplyDeleteThis is suprisingly awesome recipe! I love the idea to do the short baking with microwave, and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHi jeyashri, i tried this recipe. Tastednice but had to increase the qty of milk and sugar as it was not coming to a pouring consistency.
ReplyDeleteTried it today. It came out very well. Thanks Jeyashri for the easy recipe
ReplyDeleteTried it today n was a disaster. It became very hard. Where did I go wrong jeyashri. What should be the batter consistency
ReplyDeletethe batter should be of idli batter consistency. Sometimes depends on the texture of the flour too. You can add 1 tblsp of milk extra, to reach the consistency
DeleteI don't have a microwave oven, can I conventional oven with this recipe as well?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Please let me know the coco powder you mentioned is sweetened or UN-sweetened?
ReplyDeleteIt is unsweetened cocoa powder
DeleteAbsolutely wondrous recipe, really felt like cake one afternoon so gave this a try. I was suprised how well it came out, seeing as I didn't use the correct ingredients (I used instant hot chocolate -you have to add extra for it to be chocolate-y, mine just had a sweet cocoa tinge- instead of cocoa, missed out the vanilla extract and didnt have any milk!)
ReplyDeleteMy mum is a vegetarian and is vegan when she can be, so the eggless essence of this meant that we didn't have to waste money on eggs :)
One thing I will add is mine (with my adapted ingredients) came out a little tough at the bottom. I'm not sure what caused this (the lack of milk? Even though I add 4 tbs water to substitute? or instant hot chocolate?) but I would recommend leaving it in for 1 minute 30 sec and then judge how much longer it needs from there.
Other wise, thank you! It was absolutely delicious x
Sis,Can i replace cocoa powder wth milo..
ReplyDeleteplz reply
Sorry for the delayed reply. you can add but reduce the quantity of sugar as milo has sugar in it
DeleteHi jeyashree....this recipe I tried today ...it was soft initially and later became little hard..can I know the reason pls....the taste was superb..thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThanks for trying out. Microwave cake tends to harden after few minutes. They have to eaten right from the oven
