This Fudgy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe Is Like a Hug In a Cup
When I want a simple sweet treat, I mix up this Fudgy Chocolate Mug Cake recipe. It’s so easy and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Sometimes, I like to mix in chopped nuts, too-a handful of chopped pecans or salted peanuts would both work well here. Another delicious indulgence is our lazy cinnamon roll. And the secret to its fast flavor is that it starts with pancake mix-another ingredient I always keep on hand. For our Fudgy Chocolate Mug Cake recipe, it’s best to use a good quality chocolate chip since the flavor will shine through. I recommend Ghirardelli, and you can mix up your mug cakes with any flavor chip you prefer, from milk chocolate and semisweet to bittersweet.
