Instant guilt free relief to cake cravings…
Remember my 1 minute microwaved chocolate cake in a mug??? It’s a winner! I’ve received so many good feedbacks from my readers and my Man has been a great fan of that recipe. He loves the fact that it’s made in a mug and can be made effortlessly. Whenever he gets the craving for cake and want to enjoy without any guilt he makes that. In fact, today he had a stressful day at work and he ended up making the cake twice. It was a stress reliever for him. Thank God, it’s made in a mug not in a huge cake pan.
I like chocolate cake but not a huge fan. So, I wanted a cake that’s made without adding cocoa powder and I found that adding semolina gave a nice texture and taste to the cake. I experimented making semolina cake in the mug quite a few times and finally tweaked the recipe to my likings. I wanted to add less oil to my cake so this version calls for only 1 1/2 tbsps of oil. When my Man enjoys chocolate cake, I enjoy this semolina cake from the mug made in the microwave.
