Hi! I tried out your recipe on my youtube channel and gave it a review! Super yummy but a big fail...any idea what I could have done wrong? Feel free to check it out and let me know please thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFOZnrgDkCs&t=3s

Tarla Dalal Hi, We are very sorry to know that the recipe did not work out for you. Just wanted to know you have used milk right and not cream in the recipe?? Secondly this recipe is goey and not runny. Thirdly try and use a smaller mug it will give a better product. Do try it again and let us know how it turned out. Happy Cooking !!

I tried this recipe. but the chocolate chunk settled down at tge last and inspite of the center the bottom of the cake was liquid. what to do?

Tarla Dalal Hi Shilpa, the quality of the plain flour may vary.. as some absorbs more milk and some less, so when you make it next time, keep a check on the milk you adding to the batter. See to it that it is not very thin consistency..
