Eggless Instant Microwave Cake

This post is super hot :) Just tried this cake a while back and could not resist posting it immediately.

I wasn't in good mood this morning. Have been dead dull and inducing my mood to rest at home too. Sometimes life isnt as happy as the fairy tales! :( Grrrr nothing happens as we expect and I hate bad surprises.

But all I could do to divert myself was to make a cup of cake for myself!! yup "Cup of cake" :) A perfect cup of instant happiness :) yummmmm I'm back to good mood again :)

Someone sometime said the word "STRESSED" when reversed makes "DESSERTS" :) warewah!! how true :)

This is can also be called a bachelor's cake. Its so simple and mess free that a novice bachelor can also make. :)

I picked this recipe from the blog "Life and spice" and it came out really well. :)

The cake was perfectly baked, chocolaty, soft and yummy :)

Ingredients:

All purpose flour(Maida) - 3 tblsp
Powdered Sugar - 3 tblsp
Cooking oil - 3 tblsp
Milk - 3 tblsp
Cocoa powder - 2 tblsp
Chocolate chips - 2 tsp(Optional)
Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp
Cooking soda - 1/4 tsp
Salt - a pinch

Method:

In a microwave safe coffee mug, mix together all purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cooking soda and salt.

Add oil, vanilla essence and milk to it and stir well with a spoon until it becomes a smooth batter. See to that it does not form any lumps. Finally add the chocolate chips and give it one stir.

Microwave this at 900W(max power in my microwave) for 2 mins. Check it out after 1.5 mins and if the cake looks still wet go ahead with another 30 seconds. The timing is subjected to your microwave settings.

The cake would initially look puffed up but would drop down once cooled.

Instant microwave cake is ready :)

Serve it warm with some vanilla ice cream. It tastes awesome as it is :)

Tips:

This cake is baked in the microwave mode and not in convection mode of the microwave.

Make sure if your coffee mug has "microwave safe symbol" at the bottom of your coffee mug.

To make vanilla cake you can skip cocoa and increase the cooking soda by a pinch. This is because cocoa by itself has raising agents. Hence skipping it will require some more of cooking soda for the cake to raise.

See to that the batter occupies just half of your coffee mug.

You can top the cake with some fresh cream or butter cream.

You can also add a tsp of instant coffee powder to make coffee flavored cake :)
