Chocolate Mug Cake

Today’s recipe is one of those that still surprises me whenever I make it because it seems like it was made with pure magic. You only have to mix all of the ingredients in a large mug, put it in the microwave for a minute and 30 seconds and it’s ready. And the flavor, I can only say that it’s amazingly delicious.

I have seen many mug cake recipes and the ones I like best are the ones that don’t use eggs. If you think about it, to make a cake that is for about 16-20 people, you can use between 2-4 eggs. So, I don’t see why you need to use an entire egg to make such a tiny cake inside a mug. I don’t know, but I personally think it would be too much egg.

Another thing I like to do is place a tablespoon of Nutella, chocolate spread, Chocoramo spread or peanut butter on top right before I pop it in the microwave. That always gives is a different and special touch. So, try it!

¡Buen provecho!
