Instructions
 

  • Brew your filter coffee as usual, using 5 scoops of coffee grounds and less than ½ cup of boiling water. Repeat this process two more times to obtain the second and third decoctions. Set the third decoction aside for the mug cake.

  • In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the third coffee decoction with 1 tablespoon of milk. Set this mixture aside.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the ragi flour, whole wheat flour, palm sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and prevents a lumpy cake.
  • Add the ghee to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The ghee adds richness and moisture to the mug cake.
  • Stir in the apple cider vinegar. The reaction between the vinegar and baking soda creates air bubbles, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
  • Pour the coffee and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips to the batter and fold them in gently.
  • Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug, filling it only ¾ full to prevent overflowing. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  • Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the cake is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Cocoa powder can be added along with other dry ingredients.
  • Do not omit chocolate chips, as this will alter the intended balance of sweetness and chocolate flavor.

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a less intense coffee flavor, reduce the amount of instant coffee granules by half.
  • To ensure even baking, properly preheat your oven and use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

I love to cook the most authentic way. Most of my recipes are cooked either in claypot or kalchatti / soapstone. They are extremely beneficial as they retain the nutrients. Before cooking a recipe in these vessels I do in-depth research and make sure it is doable in any modular kitchen.
