Imagine a warm, wholesome eggless 2-minutes ragi chocolate mug cake, freshly baked in minutes, delivering comfort and health in every bite. This soft, moist treat combines the nutty, earthy flavor of ragi (finger millet) with the richness of cocoa, creating a delightful balance of nutrition and indulgence.

On top, a glossy layer of silky chocolate ganache spreads decadence, its creamy texture and bittersweet notes perfectly complementing the slightly dense cake beneath. With every spoonful, you experience a guilt-free dessert that feels luxurious yet remains grounded in natural goodness—ideal for a quick treat or a thoughtful gesture for loved ones.

INGREDIENTS USED IN 2-MINUTES RAGI CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

  • RAGI FLOUR

Ragi flour, also known as finger millet flour, is the heart of this recipe. It is a whole-grain flour that’s gluten-free and rich in fiber, calcium, iron, and other essential nutrients. Ragi is known for its numerous health benefits, including aiding in digestion, providing energy, and promoting bone health. Using ragi flour in the mug cake not only adds a unique nutty flavor but also boosts the nutritional value of the dessert significantly.

  • MILK

Milk serves as the liquid base in the mug cake, imparting moisture and tenderness to the texture. It also adds a creamy richness to the dessert. Milk is a good source of calcium and protein, essential nutrients for bone health and overall body development. I have used Nestle toned milk but you can use plant-based alternatives like almond milk or soy milk catering to different dietary preferences without compromising the taste.

  • COCOA POWDER

Cocoa powder is responsible for the chocolatey goodness of the Ragi Chocolate mug cake. It not only enhances the flavour but also provides antioxidants and minerals like iron and magnesium. Its inclusion in the recipe ensures that the mug cake is rich, decadent, and deeply satisfying to chocolate lovers.

  • OIL

A small quantity of Oil such as vegetable oil or coconut oil, is added to the mug cake for moisture. Oil plays a vital role in keeping the cake tender and preventing it from becoming dry. While it’s important to use oil in moderation, the right amount ensures the ragi chocolate mug cake has a soft, velvety texture.

  • BAKING SODA

Baking soda plays a crucial role in a ragi mug cake as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic ingredients in the batter to release carbon dioxide bubbles, which help the cake rise and become light and fluffy. Without baking soda, the cake might turn out dense, especially since ragi flour tends to be heavier than refined flours. It ensures a soft, airy texture, making the mug cake more enjoyable.

EQUIPMENT YOU NEED FOR THE 2-MINUTES RAGI CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

This recipe comes together quickly and hardly needs any equipment.

One microwave safe mug to cook the cake.

Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons. are an integral part of any baker’s kitchen and it’s very important to measure ingredients with precision.

TIPS TO MAKE 2-MINUTES RAGI CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

  1. Use jaggery, coconut sugar, or honey for a healthier and flavorful sweetener.
  2. Combine ingredients thoroughly to avoid lumps, but don’t overmix as it may make the cake dense.
  3. Add milk (or plant-based milk) to maintain moisture, as ragi can dry out the cake quickly.
  4. Start with 60 seconds on high power and check; overcooking can make the cake rubbery. Adjust cooking time based on your microwave.
  5. Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
  6. Let the cake cool slightly before adding chocolate ganache or any topping, so it sets nicely.
