Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Maida / All purpose flour (approx. 16 g / 0.6 oz)
  • 2 tbsp Sugar (or 2-3 tsp sugar + 1 tbsp Nutella / jam / peanut butter)
  • 1 tbsp Cooking oil (canola, sunflower or olive oil - approx. 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz)
  • 2 ½ tbsp Milk (at room temperature - approx. 37 ml / 1.25 fl oz)
  • 1 ½ tsp Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder
  • Salt a pinch
  • Vanilla essence few drops
  • Choco chips few (for topping)

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe ceramic mug, take all the dry ingredients – maida, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Then add cooking oil, milk and vanilla essence. Mix thoroughly with a small spoon or fork without any lumps until the sugar dissolves completely. Check for taste and add more sugar if needed.

  • Microwave at 800W power (or 100% standard microwave power) for 1 minute. The cake will rise to the top and may deflate slightly. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, your cake is ready. Else microwave for another 10 to 20 seconds (mine took 1 minute 20 seconds). After taking out, stud in a few choco chips on top and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Adjust sugar as per the taste of cocoa powder else it may taste slightly bitter.
  • As it is an instant cake, serve immediately when warm.
  • As given in the original recipe, you can add a tbsp of nutella, peanut butter or jam. In that case, reduce the sugar to 1.5 tsp and adjust according to sweetness.
  • I used canola oil. You can replace with olive oil or any cooking oil.
  • Make sure you mix the batter well without lumps.
