INGREDIENTS USED IN ATTA CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
Suji (Semolina):
Suji, also known as semolina, is the star of this cake. It’s a coarse wheat product with a granular texture that gives the cake a unique crumb. Suji adds a nutty flavor and helps create a slightly dense yet satisfyingly hearty bite.
Ghee:
Ghee, or clarified butter, brings a rich, buttery flavor to the Suji Cake. It enhances the overall taste and aroma of the cake. For a vegan version, you can substitute ghee with a plant-based oil like coconut or vegetable oil.
Leavening Agents (Baking Powder and Baking Soda):
These are the unsung heroes of eggless baking. Baking powder and baking soda work together to give the cake its lift and fluffiness. They create tiny air pockets within the batter, making the cake soft and airy.
Milk
Milk plays a vital role in adding moisture to the cake. It keeps the cake tender and prevents it from becoming overly dry. You can also use plant-based milk alternatives for a vegan version.
Cardamom Powder:
Cardamom, ground from the aromatic seeds of the cardamom plant, is the secret ingredient that elevates Suji Cake to a new level.

Always use fresh ingredients, especially leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda, to ensure your cake rises properly. - Avoid Overmixing:
Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix until the ingredients are just combined for a tender cake. - Preheat the Oven:
Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing the cake inside. This ensures even baking. - Mix Thoroughly:
Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together. Ensure that the cocoa powder is evenly distributed, and the mixture starts to come together.

- In a bowl, sift all the dry ingredients flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cardamom powder, and suji.
