Instant chocolate cake - 2 minute cake in the microwave

This is the ultimate fix for that chocolate craving! One of my friends tried this out and posted a picture on Facebook and I couldn't resist trying it immediately. Instead of eating it in the mug itself, I gave it a little twist by taking it out and icing it with whipped cream. You can directly eat it from the mug. It actually tastes best when it is warm! Scoop some icecream on top of it and your yummy-licious fix for that sweet tooth is ready!



Ingredients:
  • A mug
  • Plain flour - 4 tbsp
  • Sugar - 4 tbsp
  • Baking powder - 1 tsp
  • Baking soda - less than 1/4 tsp
  • Dark cocoa powder - 1 1/2 tbsp 
  • Instant coffee powder - 1 tsp
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Cooking oil - 1 tbsp
  • Butter - a small piece (optional)
  • Milk - 3 tbsp
Procedure: 

  • Mix all the ingredients in the mug. Beat well until the batter looks thick and fluffy.
  • Place the mug in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes. All microwaves are different, so please adjust according to your microwave.
  • You should be able to see the mixture rising from the mug.
  • And that's it. Let it cool a little (yes, patience!).
As I mentioned earlier, I iced the cake with whipped cream and put it in the refrigerator for sometime before devouring it! You can eat right from the mug or with vanilla icecream.
To make it more interesting, throw in some nuts or choco chips into the batter.
