Mug cake seems to be the say of the day. Yes, it is absolutely convenient. You crave for something sweet and you don't want to share it - mug cake is the way forward! It can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes and dumped down even faster into your system! This mug cake was made sometime back when I was really craving to bake something, yet didn't have much time in hand. You cannot say that you are baking a mug cake, you are actually microwaving it - both make quite a lot of difference! However, the final product being a cake, the satisfaction received is somewhat at par. Even though I would prefer at any point of time, to go through the whole procedure and wait for the beauties to come out of the oven done... :)
Spiced Honey Mug Cake
Serves 2 limited eaters or 1 greedy eater!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup flour + 2 tbsp
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp honey
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp oil (I used canola oil)
1/4 tsp baking powder
A pinch salt
A pinch vanilla essence
1/8 tsp cinnamon powder
1/8 tsp cardamom powder
1 tbsp chocolate chips
Method:
Dump all the ingredients one after the other into a large ramekin and whisk until well incorporated. Microwave it on high for 2-3 minutes. (Mine is a 1000w microwave and was done in 2 minutes). Sprinkle brown sugar or icing sugar on top and dig in!!!
Notes:
1. Adjust sugar and honey as per your sweetness.
2. Spices are upto you. As you can see in the recipe, cloves and nutmeg can be added. Since I dont like cloves and I didn't have nutmeg, I went for whatever I had in my pantry.
