Microwaveable Cake in 2.5 mins

What do you need?

• 4 Tablespoons cake flour
• 4 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 Tablespoons cocoa
• 1 Egg
• 2-3 Tablespoons milk
• 3 Tablespoons oil
• pinch of baking powder
• 1 Microwaveable mug

Mix flour, baking powder and cocoa in a bowl really well and keep aside. Whisk oil and sugar till it becomes a liquid paste (use an electric mixer).

Add 1 egg to it and mix for atleast 5 mins till the froth forms and the mixture doubles in size. Now, add half flour mix and make it into a paste (should take 10-15 seconds). Now, add the rest of the flour mix and beat to make a liquid paste. Add 2 tbsp of milk to get this batter consistency.

DONT beat long as that will make the cake hard. Transfer to a lightly oiled mug and microwave for 2.5 mins (2 mins 30 sec). The cake rise much above the mug and then fall back. Ideally stop when cake stops rising. Use a knife to dive into the cake and see if it comes out clean. Pour into a plate and serve.

Healthier option: Replace cake flour with soya flour and milk with non-fat milk or soy milk. Substitute sugar with sugar free or honey (150ml-175ml of honey is as sweet as 200g of sugar)
