- Then add the milk,oil and vinegar, vanilla essence.Mix well without any lumps and make sure sugar is dissolved well.
- The consistency of batter will be semi solid & it should fall like a thick ribbon.Make sure the batter is filled till half of the mug because this cake will double while cooking.
- Now microwave the mug in high power for 1 minute.Cake will raise & its size would be doubled.( mine is 800w.Please adjust the timing as per the power of your microwave) Check with a toothpick or back of a spoon.If it comes out clean,cake is done.Else keep it again for 10 secs.
- For simple decoration,u can put sprinklers on top as i did OR dust it with powdered sugar.If u apply frosting,it would be even more rich. Make your choice & variations !

- Serve with any frosting or just sprinkle powdered sugar & enjoy !
Happy Valentine’s day !! |
Note
- Do not mix everything together.First mix the dry ingredients & then go for mixing wet ones.
- Adjust the time based on the power of your microwave.
- It tastes mildly sweet.So add more sugar based on ur tastebuds.But make sure sugar is dissolved before u microwave.
