Cherry choco mug cake

I love cakes but my family members are not good fan of it! So I usually go with single serving mug cakes, which can be made in a jiffy and with distinct flavors every time. This recipe can be baked either by microwave oven or by stove top method.

Prep Time: 1 mins

Cook Time: 2 mins(microwave), 20 minutes(pressure cooker)

Yields: 1 serving

Ingredients

• All purpose flour – 4 Table spoon
• Coco powder - 3/4 Table spoon
• Baking powder - 1/4 Tea spoon
• Sugar - 2 Table spoon
• Salt - 1/8 Tea spoon
• Milk - 4 Table spoon
• Coconut/Vegetable oil - 5 Tea spoon
• Venilla extract - 1/2 Tea spoon
• Cherry's - 2 (chopped roughly)

Make It

Microwave method

• Take microwave safe mug, around 2 cup capacity
• Add all dry ingredients into the mug, give it a rough mix with fork
• Add wet ingredients & mix until well combined without lumps.
• Add chopped cherry's and give it a final mix. Make sure the mix is about 3/4 of the mug not more than that
• Now place mug into the microwave oven & microwave for 1 minutes 30 seconds
• Once done, take out the mug & insert a tooth pick at the center of the cake. If the cake is baked well, the tooth pick should come out clean
• If it is not done, bake for another 10 seconds, repeat this step until the cake is baked well

Stove top method

• Take a pressure cooker, remove the gasket & whistle from the pressure cooker. Place one cup of salt at the bottom of the pressure cooker.
• Place a stand at the bottom of the pressure cooker & close the lid (without gasket & whistle)
• Preheat the empty pressure cooker at medium heat for 10 minutes
• Meanwhile take a mug or small bowl of around 2 cup cpacity
• Add all dry ingredients into the mug, give it a rough mix with fork
• Add wet ingredients & mix until well combined without lumps
• Add chopped cherry's and give it a final mix. Make sure the mix is about 3/4 of the mug/bowl not more than that
• Once the pressure cooker is preheated, open the lid & place the mug with cake mix at the center of the stand, close the lid & bake for 20 minutes at medium heat
• After 20 minutes, cake would be risen to the rim of the mug/bowl. Insert a tooth pick at the center of the cake. If the cake is baked well, the tooth pick should come out clean
• If it is not done, bake for another 5 minutes, repeat this step until the cake is baked well

Notes

• Whole wheat flour can be used instead of all purpose flour
• Almond/coconut milk can be used as vegan substitue inplace of cows milk
