This was a perfect Christmas eve. I am Hindu and my wife atheist, but I woke up and cooked an amazing veg biryani using my mother’s family recipe, i made potato paratas, dal makhani, cucumber tomato raita with roasted cumin ground fresh, and then I made a perfect cup of chai like my mother used to make, followed by this amazing chocolate brownie cake. I told my wife that this was my perfect day and she told me she had been thinking the same thing. This cake really impressed her! I am so grateful for this recipe. Hare Krishna!

Hi Chef! I truly admire the efforts you put into making the recipes so precise! They work every time for me, and my family has started to love my cooking, thanks to your recipes.
I have a question, though. My family does have a sweet tooth, and they wish to have a single serving dessert at times, after dinner, for which the microwave mug cake is the best! Unfortunately, not everyone in my family enjoys chocolate cakes that much.
Is it possible if I can replace the cocoa powder in the recipe, with flour? And if yes, how much flour should be used?
And if that is not possible, your suggestion will be most valuable. ๐
thanks a lot Shweta Ghai ๐
yes you can replace it with flour but sure to add vanilla flavoring agent to make it flavorful.
Hi, I tried this recipe last night. Quick and easy but I was in a hurry and used regular milk instead of thick milk. Cake turned our fine I think but I want to see if there’s any difference when I use thick milk.
My question is, what is thick milk?
when i reffer to thick milk, i mean full cream milk.
Simply Awesome ๐ tried it with my afternoon chai & it was divine. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
