It seems that microwave mug cakes have been around forever. At least as long as microwaves have been in homes. They are extremely popular; there are entire cookbooks on the market filled with only mug cake recipes. I think I have tried all of them! Every recipe from a tablespoon or two of this and that to a couple of tablespoons of different cake mixes and water. Some of them have been okay, but I’ve never made one particular recipe more than a couple of times. However, there is something very alluring about making the perfect size cake in a matter of minutes.
Savannah recently made this fantastic mug cake that she found on Pinterest. I have already made this particular recipe more than a couple of times! The warm, melty center will stop any chocolate craving you may have! It is a large mug cake. In fact, big enough to share with a friend. She made the cake in a jumbo 20-oz. coffee cup, but you could also use a small bowl. Top the cake with your favorite ice cream and serve with two spoons for an incredible treat.
