Instructions
-
Prepare the Coffee Decoction:
- Begin by preparing a filter coffee decoction. Use 5 scoops of filter coffee with slightly less than 1/2 cup of boiling water. Let it brew, creating a strong, concentrated coffee. Use the third degree of this decoction (weaker in strength after multiple uses).
- Measure 3 tablespoons of this third-degree decoction and mix it with 1 tablespoon of milk. Set aside.
-
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ragi flour, whole wheat flour, and palm sugar. Add a pinch of salt and stir well to ensure an even mix.
- Drizzle in a little ghee, and stir until the mixture is crumbly and moist.
-
Add the Leavening Agents:
- Add the baking soda and baking powder to the dry mixture, followed by the apple cider vinegar. Gently stir for a few seconds to activate the ingredients.
-
Incorporate the Coffee Mixture:
- Pour the coffee and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring well to create a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
-
Add Cocoa and Chocolate Chips:
- Add the cocoa powder and half of the chocolate chips, folding them into the batter until evenly distributed.
-
Prepare for Cooking:
- Transfer the batter into a microwave-safe mug or a clay pot mug, filling it only up to three-fourths to allow room for rising.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the batter.
-
Cook the Mug Cake:
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute. Adjust timing if needed, as microwaves may vary.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the mug cake cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it as-is, or top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
- Serve the Ragi Choco Coffee Mug Cake with a warm cup of coffee or as a delightful dessert after a meal.
Tips for the Perfect Mug Cake:
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cake, add a touch more palm sugar.
- Consistency Check: The batter should be smooth and lump-free for the best texture.
- Toppings: A drizzle of chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar makes this cake even more irresistible.
Enjoy your Ragi Choco Coffee Mug Cake, a satisfying blend of rich flavors with the wholesome benefits of ragi and a hint of coffee!
