Eggless Mug Cake



We’re all craving that rich decadent chocolate cake during this lockdown right now, aren’t we ? Because, let’s face it, what better cake than chocolate cake? Well, think again, because you don’t have to go far, nor do you have to wait long. Make yourself a mug cake: it’s just as good, takes only minutes and besides this, there aren’t even many dishes for you to take care of thereafter. It’s the perfect getaway.

Here’s what you’re going to need:

3 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon oil

¼ cup milk

3 teaspoons sugar

A pinch of salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 teaspoon cocoa powder

1 bar of chocolate (use what is available, I used dairy milk fruit and nut, or you can skip this part)

The whole ordeal takes about only 5 minutes, including the preparation time. So brace yourselves.

Instructions:

  1.  1.  In a small bowl, put in your flour.   
  2.       Then put in your cocoa powder
  3. Give it a good stir, make sure there are no lumps
  4. Pour in your sugar
  5. After you give it another stir, pour in your milk, you can add more milk to your liking, if the batter seems dry to you.
  6. Add in your vanilla essence and whisk the batter
  7. Put in your baking powder and lastly sprinkle your salt
  8. After the batter seems smooth and lump free, take about 2 rows of your chocolate bar and cut them into chunks
  9. Take your microwave safe mug and pour in a little of the batter then layer it with chocolate chunks. Sort of how you would layer a cake. Keep on going till you pour in all of your batter and finish off with some chunks on the top.
  10. Make sure you don’t fill the batter to the rim of your mug. We want our mug cake to rise and it will. So leave about a quarter of the cup for the cake to rise.
  11. Put the mug into your microwave for about 1 minute to 1 minute 20 seconds depending on your microwave on P 100. My microwave is 1250 watts so please check yours and adjust the timing accordingly.
This is the best ever mug cake I’ve had and it is without eggs. Feel free to add in eggs if you like. You can have it as it is or top it off with a scoop of ice cream if you have some. It tastes best with some ice-cream on the top.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast.  Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
