Mug Cake Ingredients:
Please be sure to make sure the mug you are using for making cake should be microwave safe. Instead of mug, you can use ramekin or any microwave safe small dessert bowl also.
Flour: I have used all purpose flour (maida) to make this mug cake. Whole wheat flour can also be used but you may have to increase the quantity of wet ingredients used (milk/yogurt) as it absorbs more moisture.
Cocoa Powder: Use unsweetened good quality cocoa powder like hershey’s or cadbury for maximum flavour.
Yogurt: It works as an egg replacer and makes the mug cake soft and moist. Use plain yogurt, homemade thick curd or plant based yogurt like coconut yogurt.
Leavening Agents: Little bit of baking powder & baking soda helps the cake in rising making it fluffy and soft.
Milk: Regular milk or any plant based milk like oat, soy or almond milk for making vegan mug cake.
Sugar: You can use regular granulated sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar or jaggery powder as sweetener in this recipe. You can adjust the quantity of sugar as per your own taste.
Oil: Use any flavourless or odourless oil like sunflower oil, olive oil or canola oil. For richer taste, you can use melted butter also.
Flavourings: Pinch of salt enhances the chocolate flavour. Vanilla extract, instant coffee powder or almond extract can be added for flavour.
Add-ins: Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped chocolate pieces or nuts like walnuts, peanuts as per your liking to the mug cake.
One important thing that I would like to mention is while measuring the ingredients for mug cake take levelled spoons (not heaps) for best results.
Serving Suggestion:
The microwave mug cake can be enjoyed as it is or you can top it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dollop of whipped cream, nutella, biscoff or drizzle some chocolate sauce over it. I would suggest consuming the mug cake while it is still warm for that ooey gooey texture as most microwave cakes tend to become dry as they cool down.

I prepared this mug cake and it turned out yumm. Also i did it without baking powder as I didn’t have any. And the curd I added was prepared in an earthen pot so the cake overall had a nice smoky kind of flavour to it. Topped with Chocolate mousse sause from Dr Oetkar and Ta da!
