Chocolate Mug cake-Microwave

A 3 minute cake!!
Can you imagine?
In the beginning I had a doubt if it would come out good mainly I have never made a cake that contains plain flour and has no baking powder or baking soda in it.

This is an ideal sweet to serve to guests who come home with late notice, or even as snack!

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons plain flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 medium egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) (I used Chocolate cut into chunks)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Preparation:-

 1. Rub cold butter inside the Mug completely to prevent the cake from sticking to the mug. Add dry ingredients to a dish, and mix well.
2 Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
3 Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Pour it in the mug prepared earlier.
4 Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
5 The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! (It really did rise about 3 inches on top of the mug, And I though it would spill all over the microwave, but it dint, So go ahead,Dont
be alarmed )
6 Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

 Serve with vanilla ice cream, whip cream, toffee sauce, caramel or simply icing sugar.

Microwave Cornflour Halwa

Just try this simple Halwa on mother's day...Take only 12 minutes 4 cooking..It has a texture just like jelly, but sure sweeter than that. Do try and you will agree that this is the easiest halwa you have ever made! It uses very less ghee unlike other halwa recipe. Got this simple recpe frm Rak's kitchen

And Before going to the recipe, I want to say a very important thing…

Happy Mother's day to all my lovely members..........

Ingredients

1.Corn flour – 1/2cup

2.Sugar – 1 1/2cup

3.Water – 2cups

4.Food color(color you like)- few drops(Optional)

5.Cardamom powder – a pinch

6.Nuts & kismis – 2tsp

7.Ghee – 2tsp

Method

1 Take a microwave safe bowl,add in corn flour,sugar,water,food color,cardamom and 

    mix well without any lumps.

 2 Microwave in high for 6 minutes. After 3 minutes in between, mix once.

3 Again microwave for 6  minutes, stirring in between after every 2 minutes of interval.

4 Fry cashews in ghee till golden brown and mix well. Grease a plate with ghee and pour in the plate
  and let it cool down for 1/2 hour or so.

Cut into pieces and enjoy!

Note:-

• Stirring in between as mentioned is very important to ensure even cooking.
• Do not reduce the sugar amount,as it will change the glossy look too and end up in porridge ;)
• The whole process is made in microwave high power.
• According to oven the cooking time varies plus or minus 2-3 minutes.
• Consume within one or two days. Refrigeration changes the texture so it is not recommended.
• There is a easy way to remember the recipe. 1 part corn flour,3 parts sugar,4 parts water. i.e; which ever cup u use, use the same cup and follow the ratio. Simple.
