This is a recipe that is very easy to find on the internet and all it takes is a total of 5 minutes to make the cake from scratch. I love to have something sweet to end my meals, especially dinner and this is a cake that I make every other day, with a few variations each time!What Goes In:
Maida / All Purpose Flour – 4 tbsp
Powdered Sugar – 4 tbsp
Cocoa Powder – 2 tbsp
Egg – 1
Milk – 3 tbsp
Oil – 3 tbsp
Vanilla Essence – 2 drops
Chocolate Chips (optional) – 2 tbsp
Grated Carrots (optional) – 1 tbsp
The “How To”:
1. To a buttered microwave-safe mug, add the maida, sugar and cocoa powder and mix well.
2. Add the egg, milk and oil and blend well with a spoon. Mix in the vanilla essence. Add the chocolate chips or carrots, if desired.
3. Microwave on high (1000w) for 3 minutes.
4. Allow to cool and enjoy – straight from the mug.
Tip 1: As variations to this recipe, you could replace the cocoa with 1 tbsp of instant coffee powder for a coffee cake, 2 additional tbsp of maida for a plain tea cake or 2 tbsp of strawberry syrup for a strawberry cake.
Tip 2: Adding 1 tbsp of fresh cream can make the cake more moist.
Tip 3: You could also pour the contents into a greased muffin tray for some instant muffins.
Tip4: The cake batter may rise up and threaten to overflow, but there is no need to worry!
