I&#8217;ve always wondered how to just make a slice of cake, which would be just good enough to\u00a0succumb\u00a0to my sugar cravings. Recently, while searching for such recipes I came across not one but hundreds of recipes and I felt like a fool for not having tried those all these years. Well, consoling myself by saying: &#8220;It&#8217;s better late than never&#8221;. Most of the recipes I&#8217;ve read called for egg, but I somehow wanted to skip the egg. Tried without adding the egg and it came out just perfect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is definitely a healthy way of eating cake, a slice of cake just for you with right amount of oil and no egg. No need to wait for an hour, in less than 3 minutes you&#8217;ll be sitting on your couch enjoying a chocolate cake from a mug. Wish I could make all my favorite dishes in such less time, I guess I am getting too greedy here. Bottom line is whether it&#8217;s 2 minutes or many hours, I just love cooking and\u00a0delicious\u00a0food is my weakness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So people, have your mug ready and you have a cake!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eggless Chocolate cake in a Mug:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the Video for making this cake: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MjSjeUjtgXM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Batter mixed in the mug<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7432\" title=\"cake in a mug batter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/cake-in-a-mug-batter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/cake-in-a-mug-batter.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/cake-in-a-mug-batter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/cake-in-a-mug-batter-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipeWrapper mceNonEditable\">\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Eggless-Chocolate-cake-in-a-mug.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Eggless Chocolate Cake in a Mug (Microwave)<\/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=\"PT1M\">1 min<\/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=\"PT2M\">2 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">1 mug<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">All purpose flour- 4 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Sugar- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cocoa powder- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Baking powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Milk, skim or whole- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Vanilla extract- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Sweetened coconut flakes or your favorite nuts- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chocolate chips- 1 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\">Use a large mug.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Combine all the ingredients in the mug using a spoon.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Thoroughly mix it so that the flour is well incorporated.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">You can add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, etc.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Make sure the batter fills only half way through the mug as the cake will rise while cooking.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Keep the mug with the batter in the microwave.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">[b]Cooking time might vary depending on the microwave, I recommend cooking it first at full power for a minute and then increasing the time till a fork inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To make it even more delicious, top with a scoop of icecream.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Sit back and indulge in this delicious dessert that&#8217;s made effortlessly.
