It&#8217;s a winner! I&#8217;ve received so many good feedbacks from my readers and my Man has been a great fan of that recipe. He loves the fact that it&#8217;s made in a mug and can be made effortlessly. Whenever he gets the craving for cake and want to enjoy without any guilt he makes that. In fact, today he had a stressful day at work and he ended up making the cake twice. It was a stress reliever for him. Thank God, it&#8217;s made in a mug not in a huge cake pan.<\/p>\n<p>I like chocolate cake but not a huge fan. So, I wanted a cake that&#8217;s made without adding cocoa powder and I found that adding semolina gave a nice texture and taste to the cake. I experimented making semolina cake in the mug quite a few times and finally tweaked the recipe to my likings. I wanted to add less oil to my cake so this version calls for only 1 1\/2 tbsps of oil. When my Man enjoys chocolate cake, I enjoy this semolina cake from the mug made in the microwave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chocolate Semolina cake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16659\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/semolina-chocolate-cake.jpg\" alt=\"semolina chocolate cake\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/semolina-chocolate-cake.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/semolina-chocolate-cake-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/semolina-cake-in-a-mug.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Microwaved Semolina Cake in a Mug<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Dessert<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT2M\">2 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT1M\">1 min<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT3M\">3 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">1 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Semolina- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">All purpose flour- 3 tbsp ( for chocolate version: add 2 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp cocoa powder)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Baking powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Sugar- 1 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Milk- 4 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Crushed Walnuts or any nuts- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Vanilla extract- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large mug, combine all the above mentioned ingredients till smooth.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">It&#8217;s very important that you combine the ingredients really well without any lumps.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place the mug in the microwave and microwave at high power for 1 minute.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">The time might vary depending on the type of microwave power settings, if the center hasn&#8217;t cooked well after a minute cook for a few more seconds.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Let cool down a bit and enjoy.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">If you want you could drizzle honey or maple syrup over the cake for extra sweetness.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Chocolate cake in a Mug recipe [url href=&#8221;http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/eggless-chocolate-cake-in-a-mug-microwave\/&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;]click here[\/url]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"ERNotesHeader\">Notes<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNotes\">For making chocolate semolina cake: replace 1 tbsp flour with 1 tbsp cocoa powder.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.2.2298<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instant guilt free relief to cake cravings&#8230; Remember my 1\u00a0minute microwaved chocolate cake in a mug???
