Butterscotch Mug Cake in a Microwave | Butterscotch Mug Cake No Egg

Butterscotch mug cake in microwave

Here is an easy and yummy eggless Butterscotch mug cake in microwave under 2 minutes. Usually I make one minute mug cakes frequently for Raksha’s cake cravings. But I gave a break for baking during Corona. So after 2 to 3 years, here I am with an easy mug cake recipe. This can be prepared so easily and quickly. Just collect all the ingredients, mix in a microwave safe mug and microwave it for 1 to 2 minutes based on the power. Tada, Its ready ! It comes out so soft, fluffy and spongy. 

In my family, both Sendhil and Raksha loves Butterscotch flavor when it comes to cakes or ice cream. But I love Vanilla flavor the most. As I had already shared One minute eggless chocolate mug cake, Vanilla mug cake, Red velvet mug cake and a brownie recipe in a mug, I tried butterscotch flavor this time.

I referred few Youtube videos and came up with this recipe. If you don’t have a microwave oven, you can make this cake in a pressure cooker or a kadai and cook for 10 minutes. You can follow the same recipe and use Vanilla essence instead of butterscotch. 

Lets see how to make this no egg Butterscotch mug cake in a microwave under 2 minutes.

Egg Drop Biscuits Without Oven / Kerala Mutta Biscuit / Bean Biscuits / Coin Biscuit Recipe

 Egg biscuits recipe

Today’s recipe is a bakery style, my childhood favorite egg biscuit which is called by different names such as egg drop biscuits, mutta biscuits, bean biscuits, coin biscuit, baby biscuit , button biscuit etc. I never knew this biscuit is popular in Kerala bakery. When I was young, my dad used to take me to a small bakery near my house in Salem, Tamil nadu. My mom and sister used to buy shrewsburry biscuits i.e Nankhatai and coconut bun whereas my choice is this humble and cute egg drop biscuit. I used to call this as button biscuit or yellow biscuit. I buy a big pack and eat it all alone without sharing with anyone at home😉.

Its so addictive !! I love its mild sweetness, cute looks with an awesome vanilla flavor. Even now whenever I visit Lakshmi bakery in Salem, I never forget to pick a pack of this egg drop biscuits. Nowadays we get this egg drop biscuits in different flavors like chocolate, orange, pineapple, mango etc. But I like this original vanilla flavored ones.

During this lockdown period, I came across this mutta biscuit recipe in my Facebook and Instagram feeds. Being a vegetarian, I was hesitant to use egg in my kitchen to bake this biscuit. I also asked few people to suggest eggless options for this biscuit but majority of the answers were NO. Finally I made up my mind and tried this recipe for the first time yesterday.

 I referred so many Youtube videos and Shravskitchen for this recipe. I took Raksha’s help for shaping the biscuits and baked it successfully. Even though its my first attempt, it came out so well. It can be prepared easily even if you are a beginner in baking.You can make it without oven too. So In this post, I have discussed how to make this egg drop biscuits with and without oven. I tried both at the same time. Results were equally good.

 In fact biscuits made in stove were more crispy than oven ones. Ok friends, lets see how to make this cute and yummy egg biscuit with step by step pictures.

    Note

    • You can cook the biscuit in an empty preheated kadai. I din’t use powdered salt here. If you wish you can spread one inch thick powdered salt and pre heat it. Always use a old kadai for baking.
    • Adjust the quantity of sugar as per your taste. This biscuit has a mild sweet taste. So this quantity was perfect for me.
    • Do not skip butter.
    • I haven’t tried this biscuit with wheat flour.
    • Adjust the quantity of vanilla essence as per the need. Original recipe called for 1/2 tsp but I used to 1 tsp to suppress the smell of eggs.
    • For variations, you can add a tsp of chocolate powder to a portion of the dough and make chocolate egg drop biscuits. 
    • For making pineapple, orange or mango flavored biscuits, replace vanilla essence with the respective essence. Add few drops and check the flavor.

    • Take the dough and roll with rolling pin. You can roll it thin or thick. Cut into rounds or any shapes as you like. Thick cookies takes more time to bake. So I would recommend to make thin sized cookies in thickness. This cookies won’t double in size after baking. So make round shapes and arrange in the baking tray with little gap. I kept 5 per batch. Prick the cookies with fork or tooth pick.

Bake till bottom of the cookies turn golden brown. Check if its not soft to touch. Remove the cookies and let it cool down in a wire rack or a plate. Bake the next batch. (Preheating is not needed for each batch).Cookies turn crispy after cooling down completely. If its not crispy, you can bake again for more time.  
    • To bake the cookies without oven. :  Take an old unused kadai, flat or slightly curved kadai is fine. Keep the kadai in high flame and pre heat for 5 minutes. Now place a small plate or bowl as a stand. Keep the baking tray over the stand. Cover the kadai and lower the flame completely. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye else cookies may burn. (Instead of baking in empty kadai, you can spread 1 inch powdered salt and follow the same).

    Note

    • For variations, you can add brown sugar. But quantity may slightly vary. Check for sweetness and add more if you need.

    Eggless Apple Cake Recipe | How To Make Apple Cake (Microwave and convection oven version)

    Eggless apple cake recipe

    I tried this eggless apple cake recipe using wheat flour/ atta by watching Sanjeev Kapoor’s YouTube video. As this is my first attempt of trying an apple cake at home without eggs, I followed original recipe to the dot. Chef used wheat flour and maida in equal quantities. Cake came out so soft, moist and spongy. I should call it as apple cinnamon cake because cinnamon acts as the major flavoring ingredient. When the cake is baked, I could feel a nice fruit smell with cinnamon all over the house. We all loved it. 

    During Christmas season, most of us like to bake a fruit cake at home. If you are bored with the regular dry fruits cake, you can try this eggless apple cake instead. The best part is you can make this cake in microwave mode, convection oven and in a pressure cooker as well. 

    Actually I baked 3/4 th of the batter in convection mode and the remaining in microwave mode by keeping in a glass bowl. Both turned out great. Convection oven cake took nearly 40 minutes of baking time whereas in microwave it was done under 4 minutes. So you can bake this eggless apple cake in microwave mode or convection mode in your oven. 

    If you want to bake the same in pressure cooker, it is also possible. Just spread 1 inch of powdered salt in a thick cooker bottom.  Put a small plate or slotted plate over the sand, preheat the cooker for 15 minutes in medium flame till salt is heated. Remove the gasket and weight valve from the lid and cover the cooker. After preheating, place the baking pan and cook for 20 to 30 minutes in low flame. Check with a tooth pick & remove after cooling down. This recipe is so versatile and it works great for all the baking methods.

    Friends, do try this eggless apple cake recipe and share your feedback with me. Hope the step by step pictures can help you better. I will try to share the video recipe soon.

    • Take a baking pan and grease with oil. Sprinkle 2 tsp of maida all over the pan and rotate it to spread well.  Pat and remove the excess flour.

    • Now transfer the cake batter to the baking pan. Fill the batter till half of the pan. I used 2 small sized pans ( bundt pan & loaf pan).  Preheat oven in convection mode at 180c. Bake the cake for 25 minutes at 180c. Remove the pan after 25 minutes and insert a tooth pick into the cake. If the tooth pick comes out clean or with slight crumbles, cake is done. If toothpick comes with cake batter , bake for another 2 to 5 minutes by checking every minute.

    Eggless mango cake without condensed milk
    • Cool down the cake in a kitchen counter by covering the cake with a plate. It helps to prevent the cake from drying on the top. After 15 to 20 minutes, take the pan and run a knife around the corners of the pan. Invert the pan to a plate and pat it. Cake falls off easily. Make slices and enjoy with your tea/coffee. Tastes great with a nice  mango flavor. Enjoy !

    Note

    • Do not reduce the quantity of baking powder or baking soda.
    • Adjust the quantity of sugar based on the sweetness of mango pulp.
    • Original recipe used 1/2 cup sugar but I used 2 tbsp extra.
    • Do not beat the cake mixture. Mix gently.
    • For variations, you can use powdered sugar. In that case, measure and grind 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp & add to cake batter.
    • If you like, you can replace a part of sugar with honey.
