2 min Chocolate cake in a mug, Seriously!

2 min Chocolate cake in a mug, Seriously! No kidding!

The Moment I saw this cake here and  there , I was determined to make it.

I liked the idea of adding coffee and used the recipe from not quite nigella.
It looked simple, no fuss and yet a tasty treat. Adding instant coffee bring out a great chocolatey flavor to this cake. The cooking time varies slightly with the power of your microwave. I stringly recommend the initial cooking for 1 min and then increase by 30 seconds as needed. I cooked mine for 1 min and 20 seconds.





Get Ready: ( serves 2 )
  • 1 Mug
  • 4 tbsp  all purpose flour
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt.
  • ½ tsp instant coffee powder (optional)
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips ( optional)
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • A dash of vanilla
  • 1 large egg


 Go:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil well.
  • Add the dry ingredients ( flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, instant coffee powder) and incorporate well.
  • Add chocolate chips, vanilla extract.
  • Grease 2 coffee mugs with cooking spray.
  • Divide the batter into 2 coffee mugs.
  • Microwave on high for 1 min. the cake will rise, but will not spill if you use a big mug.
  • Cook for additional 30 secs if you need a softer cake, or just 10 secs, if you want a gooey middle.
  • Serve warm with vanilla, or coffee ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy your Mother's day with this super simple chocolate cake in a mug!
