Christmas Mug Cake – 2 Mins Microwave Christmas Cake

With Christmas around the corner, I wanted to make this quick Christmas Mug Cake. This is a microwave cake and can be made in just 2 mins. Most importantly this is a single serving cake. You do not have to make a whole big cake when you can only consume a small portion. Perfect for sudden cravings too! Well if you want a family cake, Check my Eggless Christmas Cake. This is a No Alcohol and Eggless cake. Check out the quick video with my voice over 🙂

[Preparation Time-5 mins : Baking Time-2 & 1/2 mins]

Christmas Mug Cake Ingredients:

Method:

• Take raisins, cranberries, brown sugar, butter, ginger powder, cinnamon powder & water in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. The butter will melt and the flavours will infuse.

• Add yogurt to this and mix to combine. Now add all the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking powder & baking soda.

• Cut and fold the ingredients gently. Do not over mix. The batter should be smooth and creamy.

• Take a microwave safe coffee mug. Grease it with butter or oil. Transfer the cake batter to the mug and microwave for 2 mins.

Thats it! Yummy, fluffy Christmas Mug Cake ready.

Enjoy warm!

Tips:

1. Brown sugar is recommended.
2. I have used raisins and cranberries, u can use candied mixed peel and nuts too.
3. It took 2 mins in my microwave (850 watts). Timings may vary based on the power of your microwave.
4. Do not over-bake the cake. Else it will become hard and rubbery.
5. This cake will rise while baking, but will not overflow. U can use a mug or any microwave proof bowl/ramekins.
6. Make sure to fill the batter only upto half the level of the mug.
7. It might look sticky when hot, let it cool for a while and enjoy!!
