Chocolate: Discovery of Mug Chocolate Cake

I discovered this recipe through a daily chocolate blog, little did I know this little microwave creation has spread through the internet for quite some time now. I am not a fan of baking with the microwave, but this recipe is honestly fun and fast.

If you thought you could not bake or have the patience for baking, speak no more. This recipe is as easy as making hot chocolate so you are bound to impress your children, loved ones, or maybe yourself Even though most recipes measure it for one serving, I highly recommend devouring the whole thing if you are seriously craving chocolate (or stressed out for that matter). Otherwise, this cake is a perfect dessert to share or split into two mugs before placing in the microwave.

You can even give it more variety by scooping ice cream, icing, or chocolate fudge on top. If you are looking for a replacement for the chocolate chips, you can substitute with chips of your choice such as white chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, toffee, nuts, anything I even noticed one blogger mentioning splashing in a little brandy for more of a pudding effect.

In any case, have fun with it!
