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!
