A cake baked in a mug in the microwave is like a single woman's dream (a single woman with a sweet tooth like mine!) because it's the perfect single-serving cake and while I had heard of this recipe, I had never tried making it myself. So finally for Thanksgiving, I gave thanks for easy recipes like this one and tried it out. Following is a recipe for a coffee raisin mug cake:
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1-2 teaspoon instant coffee (you can replace this with chocolate powder)
1 tablespoon raisins
2-3 tablespoons sugar
0.5 teaspoon baking powder/ baking soda
1 egg
3-4 teaspoons veg/ olive oil or butter
2-3 tablespoons milk
1-2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small bowl, mix and beat all ingredients using a fork adding milk sparingly until the batter is smooth and semi-solid.
In a greased mug (I sprayed the mug with an oil spray and sprinkled sugar), pour batter such that it is about 3/4 of the mug.
Place in microwave and heat for 80-90 seconds. Don't overheat and watch to make sure mug doesn't overflow.
Done!

Sounds good. Will try it over the forthcoming weekend. Shirish Nadkarni.
