It's Wednesday and it is time for Blog Hop again. I am sure most of you are aware about this bi-monthly event. If not, then check this out.
This week I am assigned Monika's Blog Sin-A-Mon. I have been following her other blog for quite a time. She is a well known name in the blogging world with her interests ranging from food to books to social awareness. I chose a very simple yet indulgent recipe from her blog -Chocolate Mug Cake. I have tweaked the recipe to make it egg less and added vanilla instead of cinnamon. I have halved the original recipe to yield only one serving. The weather hasn't been great of late with grey clouds and cold days and occasional drizzle. The warm chocolate mug cake was perfect to lift spirits in an otherwise depressing climate.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp AP Flour
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp Nutella
11/2 tbsp milk
11/2 tbsp oil
11/2 tbsp yogurt
1/2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla essence.
Process:
1. Mix all the ingredients and pour the batter into a large microwave safe mug. Mine was big and the batter came 1/3rd of its volume. If you choose a smaller one the batter may overflow while cooking.
2. Microwave it for 2 minutes. Let it sit in the microwave for 30 secs before taking it out. Its ready to eat! I had mine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Note:
1. The texture of the mug cake was brownie like. It is best to have it fresh from microwave.
Time to dig in!
