Ragi(Finger Millet) Mug Cake

 If you are craving for some cake and want it instantly, and don’t want to get into the hassle of baking a whole cake + wait for an hour or so for it to bake +  then clean up after it’s done, then you should try mug cakes. These are so easy and they get done in 3-5 min max, then all you have to clean up is just 1 coffee mug!!! 

 

Mug cakes recipes have been circulating around in the net for many years now. For those who don’t know what it is - it is basically a single portion cake that you cook(bake) in the microwave in a coffee mug! 


But what’s special about this particular mug cake recipe is that it uses ragi.. RAGI! 

My kid who doesn’t like anything made out of ragi, loved this. 





This cake doesn’t taste like regular cake, you CAN taste ragi in it. This tastes like some exotic version of dark chocolate cake. If you are a dark chocolate lover like my kid, you will definitely love this. 


Do try this for Mother’s day this weekend and enjoy it guilt free! 


Happy Mother’s day!

Notes - 

  • I made it with sugar one time instead of jaggery, I liked jaggery taste better.
