Ever since i made this chocolate cherry cake in microwave, i became a complete addict for these types of cake..I started experimenting more about these cake..I think these cakes are so amazing, because they can beat any types of chocolate cake by their cooking time. They can served as a instant desert even for parties..I am planning to do a complete series for these mug cake soon in my blog starting from vanilla mug cake, chocolate mug cake to peanut butter mug cake...What do you think guys?
Yesterday i went for a quick shopping..I found this coffee mug there, it came with a spoon as well, which adds a little bit of edge to it. I picked one for myself. I also picked the few cloths to add more colour to the food pictures which i take..
What do you think about this cloth and mug?
As you all know, i am crazy chocolates, specially nutella..If you ask me what is the last thing which i want to eat in this world..I would tell you it is NUTELLA.
I want to praise the man who invented nutella for the rest of my life, i want to put flowers where ever he walk, just kidding at the last part..
But seriously nutella is addictive, hence the cake made with this is addictive too..
This cake is so soft, moist, chocolaty, rich, fudgy, gooey and it goes like this...
Try it and you will know why i am talking liked a mad..

Nice table cloth! I like really the polka dots.
The mug cake series might be great for people who have a microwave - it really is a time-saver, perfect for a quick snack. Alas, I do not have a microwave, so I wouldn't be able to make them 🙁
divya
looks so delicious and mouthwatering.

Seemon
Ref: the pictorial illustration of pouring milk; clarify whether you used is milk or cream??
Aarthi
@SeemonI mixed milk powder with some water, so it seems so thick. But milk will be good.

Did u cook it n bake mode or microwave mode for 2 mins
Anonymous
Wanna try dis badly..so simple nd looks delicious
Aarthi
@AnonymousYou need to cook it in microwave mode
Indu
Hi, I tried your recipe today and all was fine except that the outer crust became a little too hard. What should I have done to avoid that ?
Aarthi
@InduI think you must have cooked it longer. Each microwave vary in heat, so next time cook it for little less time.

Any substitute for nutella
Aarthi
@AnonymousMelted chocolate or simply leave out nutella

Aarthi
@bhavika katariaThis recipe is for microwave oven, you can give it a try anyway
sohail

Aarthi
@sohailYes all purpose flour is maida, plain flour

If this is a microave recipe, then why did u say that u have to bake it? I have an oven, so should I bake it for 2 minutes in the oven, or 2 minutes in microwave?
Aarthi
@AnonymousSorry that is a typo. you have to cook it in microwave for 2 min
Vidhi Madan
Hi.. can I replace maida with wheat aata to make it more healthy? ?
Anonymous
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I do not have a microwave. If I use OTG (Oven-toaster-griller), how many minutes do I bake it for and at what temperature?
Thanks!!
Pooja 🙂
Aarthi
@Anonymous I am not sure, but i think you can bake it...bake it at 180 degree C for 10 to 15 mins..Check and if it is not baked, bake for 5 more mins..

Aarthi

Divi
Hi arti...it was super yum....but it had a floury taste...plz suggest where i may hav gone wrong
Aarthi
@DiviNot sure..may be u should have baked it little less time..
Divi
I baked it for 2 min....xan this happen that i might hav taken more flour than req
Aarthi
@DiviYes may be it may the the reason.
Ankita Shreeram
1. Can I add eggs to this recipe? If so, at what step?
2. Can I use melted chocolate instead of cocoa? It's easier for me to find dark chocolate slabs than cocoa.
3. Can I mix wheat flour and maida instead of using only maida?
4. Can I use nuts/fruits as topping rather than nutella?
Aarthi
@Ankita ShreeramThis recipe is a perfect one, if u modify it it do affect the taste and texture.

@Aarthi : Thanks a lot for the recipe.. I tried it and it came out yummmilicious 😀 I ran out of milk so I used sweetened condensed milk with some warm water and no sugar at all in the initially, still it turned out to be quite delicious.. Thanks!!
Anonymous
I'm eating it right now. And it came out perfect. I added just 1tbsp of brown sugar, and batter tasted much better. Also I didnt have nutella or chocolate chips, so i substituted them for Hershe's spread and mini m&m's. And since batter was sweeter, i used veery little Hersheys
Anonymous

asfiya
Hi aarthi.
1.I ve prestige otg so is tat I shld use only otg safe bowls or any thick glass bowl.
2.wat is de action of coco powder, if it only flavour substance can I substitute with boost.
Aarthi
@asfiya
1)yes u cannot bake this in otg. it should be baked in microwave cooking mode, and for baking in otg u have to use oven safe bowls.
2)cocoa powder has to used for flavour/.
Aarthi
@Anonymousit should be in regular heating mode. cook it in high power
Priya Sharma

Anagha
Hi . I read this at 9:35 pm , made this at 9:45 pm and the kids gulped it down by 9:50pm . it was so fast and yummy!!! Thanx a lot.
solai
Arthi your food blog is just great. Tried pineapple upside down and a few more recipes too. They turned out very well. I have 2 questions. The basic rule in baking is powder us sugar and split ur eggs into yolk and whites and beat them separately..but you don't seem to follow these as shown in your pictures.is it OK to use sugar as it is and eggs beaten together?
My next question is I have a lot of brown sugar in my hand..bought for the pineapple upside down recipe. Do u have any other recipe using this brown sugar? Thank you
Aarthi
@solaii dont normal powder my sugar. but if you want u can use that as well..it results in more even creaming. And beating eggs yolk and white separately is not needed for all cakes.And you can use brown sugar in my muffin recipes
Betsy
Hi Aarthi..this looks delicious!! Could you tell me where you purchased the chocolate chips from?
Aarthi
@Betsyi got it from my super market lynns. U can look online
Beena Sujay
The receipe looks yum...Thanks for sharing it aarthi...I have an otg...so which bowl can I use ....
Aarthi
@Beena Sujaythis cannot be made in OTG. it has to be done in microwave normal cooking mode. And for baking cakes in OTG you can use aluminum, silicone, nonstick
Shalini and Malini
Very very tasty...wish I cud post a pic .It came out yum yum.
Akshatha
Hi,

Akshata

Akshata Ramesh

Aarthi
@Akshatau can use nuts instead of chips too
