Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake


When the theme for Blogging Marathon was eggless cakes my first to do recipe was a mug cake.It is a simple 2 min microwave recipe which can be made in little quantities & easy to finish off.
Coming to recipe this cake has a gooey deliciousness of chocolate in every bite.On the first trial it tasted like salt & baking soda.Then later I came up with some changes to recipe & it tasted yummylicious.



Ingredients: 
3 Tbs All purpose flour 
2 Tbs semi sweet coco powder 
1/4 Tsp corn starch powder
1/4 Tsp baking powder
1 Tsp Vanilla essence 
2 & 1/2 Tbs fine sugar ( Add another 1/2 tbs sugar if you want it to be on a little sweeter side)
2 Tbs butter ( used olive butter)
3 Tbs milk
Few chocolate chunks (Optional)
Coffee mug buttered 


Sift all purpose flour in a bowl & to that add the coco, baking & corn starch powder.Mix tem with a spatula & keep aside. In a different bowl take sugar, vanilla essence, milk & butter. Beat them till the sugar is disolved completely. 
Now mix the dry & wet ingredients to a smooth batter. 


Take a coffee mug with butter applied & add the batter to it.Don't add the choco chunks to the batter.First microwave it for 1min on power-10 or on the highest power settings of your microwave settings.At this stage the cake would have raised perfectly.Now add the choco chunks on top & microwave it for another 1 minute.Your chocolate mug cake is ready to serve. 
Serve it warm & it tastes delicious. 



Note:
1. If you want more chocolaty flavor then add the choco chunks directly to batter & microwave it as said above.The chocolate melts in between & creates a perfect gooey texture to cake.
