What temperature has to be SET?
Aarthi
@AnonymousThere is no temp..It should be cooked on normal cooking mode on high.

Can you substitute baking soda with baking powder? If not what difference will it make? Also is meetha soda the same as baking soda? Thx ...too many querries:)
Aarthi
@AnonymousNo you cannot substitute. Baking powder will make the cake rise too much. Baking soda should be used. Yes meetha soda is called as baking soda.

Can we make this skipping cocoa powder. Also like in Oreo biscuit cake recipe baking powder was used similarly can we use same instead of baking soda?
Aarthi
@AnonymousNo you cannot substitute baking powder with baking soda. And yes u can leave out cocoa and make this. But add flour to the amount of cocoa used in this cake

Aarthi
@AnonymousI think u cannot whip thaose cream. Haven't tried it so far. But if u want to whip them, first whip them till it gets thick, once it gets thick lightly, add in some icing sugar and whip till stiff.

Thought I'd let you know that since I didn't have instant coffee while making this, I replaced the water/milk with actual coffee and it turned out fantastic! The coffee taste isn't too strong and it tastes very fresh. You should try it out!

I was suddenly craving fr something chocolaty n came across this recipe n it was so simple n I made it in a jiffy... Like someone had commented, I substituted 2tbsp milk with 2tbsp freshly brewed coffee n it turned out heavenly... It made me melt... One of the best microwave cakes I'd ever tasted.. Half of it I topped with buttercream frosting n half I topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream... I'm going crazy here over this cake... Thank you so much fr the wonderful recipe..

Can we use wheat flour instead of maida
I tried the cake 4 times n it became hard every time after 15 minutes....as hard as a cookie
Aarthi
@Anonymousi think u have over cooked it. Try reducing the cooking time.
Nik
What?? It erupted out in just half a minute 🙁
Mary Nowlin Bendfeldt
I just made this today. I think it is even better than the Nutella recipe I have tried before. Mine also took less than 2 minutes (1 min 45 sec). This definitely needs a tall mug since it bubbles up while baking! I happened to have coconut oil which was extra yummy. Thanks for a great recipe! I always look forward to your updates here in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

I tried this recipe today. The taste was amazing. It was super yummy. I had one problem though. I microwaved it for 1 min 30 secs only but it came out in a biscuit form. Any idea why it could have happened. I didn't have baking soda and hence used baking powder. Will that make any difference?
Aarthi
@Haritha Bolisettyeach microwave varies, so mcrowave it less next time. And dont sub baking soda with baking powder. Because they both are different
Sneha
Superhit!! Thanks a lot for the recipe.

Amazing simple recipe! I just kept it for 1 min 10 secs...it was a little hard...wat would be the reason?
Aarthi
@Anonymousi think then u have to reduce the timing
Anonymous
@Aarthi Hi Aarthi, I substituted baking soda with baking powder (for 1/4 tsp of soda, added 1/2 tsp of powder) and it came out equally good. It had the same texture and was just ready in 1 min 30 sec!
Anonymous
Hi Aarthi, Thank you for the simple recipe. Do you think we need a pinch of salt just to cut thru' the sweetness of sugar + choc? I tried the recipe once but found it overly sweet.
Aarthi
@Anonymousu can reduce the sugar and add pinch of salt

DivyaBrijesh
