2-Min No Oil Mug Cake No Egg: Almond Butter Cake in A Mug/ Rice Microwave Cake


mug cake eggless  with almond butter
Cake in a mug! Sounds interesting, isn;t it?

Mug cakes are loved by one and all. They are super quick and easy - ready within a couple of minutes, requiring a handful of ingredients. Doesn't that sound good to the ear?

I have never tried my hands at mug cake before. But I really wanted to give it a try. Yesterday was the lucky day!

This microwave mug cake recipe gets inspiration from Sangeeta Sethi ji. The moment I saw her whole wheat mug cake  eggless  recipe in a group, I was impressed!!  Unlike other cake recipes, mug cakes are quick and require no preheating the microwave or convection setting. This doubt was cleared by Sangeeta Chandra, a friend of mine.

Then I decided to just go for it. But since I had home-made almond butter, I did not want to add any other oil or butter.


So my cake in a mug recipe is simple, eggless, butterless, and so addictive! Yes, you have got me right.

What is Almond Butter


Almond butter is super healthy, rich in taste, and of course addictive.Try a recipe with almond butter once, and you cannot stop at experimenting with this healthy ingredient there. I, too, started using almond butter recently. The first time I actually made it at home was when I wanted to try the 2-ingredient nana ice cream. It was a super hit recipe with my friends. I got inspiring feedback from all corners. Yes, I was extremely happy with it.

Next time, I included almond butter in a cake along with oil. The almond butter eggless atta cake was loved by one and all. The aroma of an almond butter cake in a mug or pan makes it different from others. You do not need to add any flavoring agent or spice to add to its aroma! Doesn't that sound good?

Almond butter cookies with oatmeal was another of my trials with this buttery mixture sourced from roasted almonds. Even the almond butter recipe is simple and quick.

Here is how you can make almond butter at home.

Ingredients
cake in a mug eggless

2 tbsp- rice flour (or you may use 4 tbsp in total of wheat flour)
2 tbsp- almond butter
1 tbsp- thick curd
2 tbsp- milk  (or little more to get an idli like batter)
cinnamon (dalchini)

Procedure
microwave mug cake recipe almond butter

  1. Mix both flours.
  2. Mix almond butter, curd, milk, dalchini, and jaggery powder. 
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients.
  4. Finally, mix baking soda and lime juice into the batter. 
  5. Sprinkle a few drops of water on top. This will prevent the mug cake from turning rubber like. Since mug cakes bake quickly and the top heats the fastest, there is a risk of the mug cake becoming rubbery. But that won't be the case if you follow this tip. Rather, your cake should turn out moist and fluffy.
  6. Immediately microwave it for 2 mins. My eggless mug cake recipe in microwave was done in 2:30 mins. It varies from one microwave to another. So keep an eye on your cake in mug after 2 mins.
  7. Enjoy a delicious, healthy mug cake as an evening snack!

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
