Butterscotch Mug Cake Recipe (No Egg)

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour / Maida
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (use flavorless oil)
  • 4 tablespoons Boiled milk at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon Butterscotch essence
  • 1/8 teaspoon Baking powder
  • A pinch of Baking soda
  • 2 drops Yellow food color
  • Sprinklers (to garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Take a bigger-sized microwave-safe ceramic mug, as the cake will double in size while cooking.
  2. Add all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix them well.
  3. Now, add the wet ingredients: cooking oil, boiled milk, butterscotch essence, and yellow food color.
  4. Mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a thick batter that flows like a ribbon, as shown in the picture. Adjust the quantity of sugar to your taste preferences.
  5. Place the mug inside the microwave and set the power to 800W and the timer for 1 minute.
  6. After 1 minute, check if the cake has risen well. Insert a toothpick into the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If it’s still sticky, cook it for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Remove the mug from the microwave, and while it’s still warm, garnish the cake with sprinklers.
  8. Let the cake cool for a few minutes, and then enjoy your scrumptious Butterscotch Mug Cake!

Method – Step by Step:

  1. Take a bigger-sized microwave-safe ceramic mug. Remember that the cake will double in size while cooking, so choose a large mug.
  2. Add the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix them well.
  3. Now, add the wet ingredients: cooking oil, boiled milk, butterscotch essence, and yellow food color.
  4. Mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a thick batter that flows like a ribbon, as shown in the picture.
  5. Take the mug and place it inside the microwave oven.
  6. Set the power to 800W and the timer to 1 minute. As the batter doubles in size while cooking, ensure there is enough space for the cake to rise.
  7. After 1 minute, check if the cake has risen well and is cooked in the center. Insert a toothpick into the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, cook it for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Once the cake is done, remove the mug from the microwave, and while it’s still warm, decorate the top with colorful sprinklers for a fun touch.
  9. Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes, and then indulge in the deliciousness of your homemade Butterscotch Mug Cake!
