Atta chocolate mug cake

EQUIPMENT YOU NEED FOR THE ATTA CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

You can use any mug or even a small bowl that is microwave-safe. One thing to keep in mind is that this recipe has been designed for a 500ml capacity mug, so if the mug that you are using is smaller please adjust the recipe accordingly. Using a smaller mug with the full recipe might lead to overflowing of the batter and creating a huge mess in your microwave.

Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons are vital for any baking recipe.

You do not need any fancy mixers, all you need is a hand whisk and a spatula.

 

INGREDIENTS USED IN ATTA CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

  • Whole Wheat Atta (Whole Wheat Flour)

    Atta is a healthier alternative to all-purpose flour. It provides a nutty flavor and added fiber, making this mug cake more nutritious. Whole wheat flour retains the bran and germ components of the wheat kernel, which are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. This enhances the nutritional content of cakes.

  • Yogurt

    Yogurt adds moisture and a subtle tanginess to the cake. You can use plain yogurt or Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency.

  • Oil

    Cakes made with oil tend to be more tender and less crumbly compared to those made solely with butter. Oil does not solidify at room temperature like butter does, which means the flavors in the cake remain more evenly distributed and noticeable even after the cake cools down.

  • Milk

    Milk, in this recipe is the main wet ingredient. It acts as a great egg replacer and still adds protein to the dish. You can replace it with any nut milk and make it vegan too. The milk is what gets absorbed by the atta and adds keeps the whole thing moist. I have used Nestle toned milk for this recipe.

  • Sugar

    The most obvious reason is that sugar adds sweetness to the cake, making it enjoyable and satisfying to eat. In a microwave cake, sugar helps keep the cake moist, preventing it from becoming dry and crumbly during the cooking process. I have used caster sugar for this recipe, however, this is a very forgiving mug cake and you can substitute caster sugar with powdered sugar or brown sugar also.

 

MICROWAVE COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

We are going to be making this atta chocolate mug cake using the regular microwave heating function. This means please only use glass or ceramic wear that is microwave safe. Do not use steel or cheap quality plastic that can be hazardous for your health and quite dangerous to use.

The cooking time will differ from one microwave to the other. I tried to microwave it for 90 seconds first and discovered that the outside was perfectly cooked but the inside and the middle were still raw. Which is why I cooked it for an additional 30 seconds. Making the full cooking time to come at 120 seconds or 2 minutes.  I recommend that after the 90 seconds mark you try and insert a skewer into the center and see if the mug cake needs more cooking and work accordingly.
