Microwave Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake

By
Microwave Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake is one of my new favourites. The beauty of this recipe is you will never have to worry that your sweet tooth will go unsatisfied again with a microwave cake you can make in minutes.


This Microwave Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake could not be more authentic. Made from the usual suspects for a chocolate cake recipe — like flour, chocolate, butter, sugar etc — this decadent chocolate cake with that special soft texture is the perfect end to any day. Now instead of making a whole cake you can have just 1 serving in no time at all. And this cake batter can sit in its little mug in the fridge for up to 3 days, so you can enjoy a single-serving treat anytime!

For this recipe, I have replaced the butter with olive oil and sugar with honey to make it a little guilt free. But feel free to retain it in its original form. Both ways it tastes awesome! 

What is a mug cake?

A cake that is made in a mug! It’s great because you don’t need to whip out a bunch of tools to make this simple mug cake.

Can this mug cake be made in the oven?

No, this recipe was solely developed for the microwave.

Can we make this with all purpose flour?

You can, but I tested it with all purpose flour and it just came out spongy and not the texture I wanted. For a mug cake, I wanted a moist and gooey texture instead of fluffy cake like texture.

Choice of mugs?

You can use regular 200 ml glass or ceramic tea cups which are microwave safe. Here I have used 320 ml transparent mugs which are great for displaying mug cakes and desserts. 

Serves - 2
Ingredients:
2 tbsp oat flour,
4 tbsp almond flour,
1 tbsp cocoa powder,
1/2 tsp baking powder,
4 tbsp light olive oil/unsalted butter,
2 tbsp honey/powdered sugar,
6 tbsp milk,
3 tbsp chopped chocolate, try to keep it as half inch squares,
Few chocochips or chocolate pieces for garnish,
Pinch salt

Method:
  1. Grind regular oats and almonds together to make the flour.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients and set aside.
  3. Add the liquid ingredients one by one and mix well.
  4. Mix in the chocolate pieces as well.
  5. Pour into 2 mugs 3/4th of the way.
  6. Top with few chocolate pieces or chocochips. 
  7. Microwave it for about 1- 1.5mins (60-90 secs).
  8. Take it out and allow it cool down for about 15 mins at least.
  9. Top it with ice cream and/or chocolate sauce and enjoy.
  10. Tastes good if served chilled

This Microwave Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake is one of the easiest dessert recipes you’ll ever make and you’ll never make another mug cake again after you try my recipe!

Authentic Bhajani Chakli | Chakli Recipe | Maharashtrian Chakli Recipe

By
 Chakli is a delightfully scrumptious snack that is often made in India during Diwali festival. Also known as Chakri, these spiral shaped crunchy snacks are made using the perfect blend of lentils and spices. Deep fried to a golden brown perfection, chaklis are lightly spiced with turmeric and chili packing in an explosion of flavors in every bite. Different parts of India have variations of this recipe. For example, in South India, Murukku(Chakli) is made using rice flour and a mild seasoning of salt and asafoetida. In Gujarat, Chakri is made with whole wheat flour or rice flour. In Maharashtra it is made with Bhajani, a special homemade flour. Chakli is easily one of the most popular Indian Diwali snack AKA faral and is best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of tea. What is Bhajani? Traditional Maharashtrian Chakli is made with a special homemade flour of rice and lentils called Bhajani. Rice and lentils are washed, air dried and then dry roasted over slow heat along with cu...

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Sesame Seed Pellets - Til Ke Laddu

By
Happy Makar Sankranti & Pongal to all!!! Makar Sankranti is perhaps the only Indian festival whose date always falls on the same day every year i.e. the 14th of January. Can you guess why? This is because the festival of Sankranti is based on the solar calendar unlike the rest of Indian festivals, which are based on the lunar calendar. Makar literally means "Capricorn" and Sankranti is the day when the Sun changes it's position from one sign of the Zodiac to the other. Even though Sankranti comes every month, in the month of Magha (January) it is considered especially auspicious as it coincides with the harvest season and marks the end of the winter season. (Info: Google) Being a South Indian, I've relived the happiness and joy of Pongal every year... Though I did make chakara pongal which is customary in our house, I also decided to make Til Ke Laddu or tilgul . The sesame seed or til is given a lot of importance because in this season it is considered ...
