Mog cake looks so inviting and delicious. Superb!!!!
ReplyDeleteFascinating clicks. Lovely set up makes me want to forget all about the cakes vidhya.
ReplyDeleteSounds great! And great presentation too!
ReplyDeleteDelicious and mouthwatering . Excellent preparation.
ReplyDeleteHow to make it eggless?
ReplyDeletetry adding 2 to 2 1/2 tbsp of yogurt instead of the egg...
DeleteApplesauce is usually the preferred substitute. For each egg use 1/4 c. applesauce. You can also use a banana but believe it or not, applesauce doesn't impart a lot of flavor.
DeleteCame out well for you.Nice clicks.
ReplyDeleteive tried mug chocolate cake before, but not added coffee powder. will sure try it...yours look so yummy

ReplyDeleteSuperb pictures, can't take my eyes of them, following U just for those hearts, do drop in by my space sometime..
ReplyDeleteHi! 2 questions:
ReplyDelete1. Are the ingredient quantities for 1 mug cake or 2?
2. What do u mean by "1 no" for the egg?
Thanks! Great pictures! :)
Thank you all for your kind words...
Delete@ sapna...the quantities mentioned here is just for a single mug cake... "1 no" egg means one egg...
Watch out... Quickly (25-30 sec) overflows the cup in the microwave, all over the place...
ReplyDeleteBlake, I was concerned about that before I made it so I used an oversized mug first time out to see how full it would get. My advice is do not use a 6-8oz mug; bc of rising, it definitely is going to overflow.
DeleteI used a 16oz mug and it puffed up to abt 1-2/3 full; pretty generous little cake! I also used Gluten-free flour, xanthan gum right along with the remaining ingredients. Perhaps the xanthan gum and baking powder caused mine to rise a bit extra?
Worked great. Thanks. I used an oversized mug.
ReplyDeleteThank You Mary for the feedback!!!
DeleteI just made this cake and it came out great!! I added 1 tblsp of chopped nuts and it was great, moist, awesome, not eggy.....try it!
ReplyDeleteso happy that it came out great!!! Thank you for the feedback....HApppy cooking!!!
DeleteVidya
I used Cocoa powder + 2 extra TBSP of Sugar, a Gluten-free flour mixture + Xanthan Gum. All other ingredients remained, including the Baking Powder. The texture is amazing, the taste is so rich, too. After a few minutes of waiting to cool, I couldn't stand it any longer and I put some whipped cream on top
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the GF version...glad that you enjoyed it!!!
DeleteRegards

I tried this and it came out very dense, possibly from the egg? Any suggestions to make the texture more cake like? I love the idea of it!
ReplyDeleteIt can become dense ,if you over cook the mug cake.
DeleteMay be next time you should cook for like ......80 or 85 seconds...do let me know...okie!!!
is coffee powder the same as granules? littlekaatie.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYou can use coffee powder or granules (1/2 to 1 tsp - according to your taste)
DeleteHappy cooking

I love this! I used a Keurig hot chocolate cup thing instead of cocoa powder and coffee, and added an additional oil tbsp instead of an egg. It was great!

Just made this wonderful recipe, and after reading though the comments we used smaller cups(tea cup size), and split the full mixture between the two. I also halved the sugar. The resulting desserts were fantastic!! Thankyou so much - I'll be working my way through the rest of your recipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the feedback.Happy cooking
DeleteVidya
I tried this but the bottom half of my mug was still wet (entire lump) while the top half turned out fine. Anyone knows why?
ReplyDeleteso sorry that it dint work well for you.Next time try and cook it for few more seconds.
DeleteI tried this and it was delicious....yummmm
ReplyDeleteI added 1/2 tbsp kahlua... Yum ��
ReplyDeleteJust tried it. Yummy. So easy.thanks.
ReplyDeleteMine was dry any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIt can turn dry ,if you over cook the mug cake.next time microwave for 80 to 85 sec and see.
DeleteRegards

Hi vidya... tried your mug cake...it came out really well...But the only problem was that sugar settled to the bottom making the cake more sweet at the bottom. What sugar do you use?
ReplyDeleteHI Harsha ,Thank you for the feedback.I have used fine granulated sugar.Sugar may settle at the bottom of the mug if the crystals are large and do not dissolve.So next time make the sugar finer using a coffee grinder or a blender.Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteHappy cooking
Vidya
Thank you so much dear...
