More About This Recipe

  • If you have never tried mug cake, your life is about to change in a very awesome way. Imagine coming home from a crummy day and being able to whip up a personal lil' comfort cake in less than 10 minutes time – heck, even quicker than that! Cake WHENEVER you want it… yeah, now I've got your attention! This Coffee Mug Chocolate Cake will start your journey into the world of cake in a mug. I made a Betty Crocker™ chocolate cake, but you can make any cake flavor you like. Another bonus - you can top it with whatever you like. I went with good ol’ chocolate ice cream, a little whipped cream and chocolate chips, but you could certainly slather on some icing and send your mug cake over the top. Now you know the easiest way to have cake on demand. No need to thank me... well okay, you’re welcome.
