Add to your mug of choice. Make sure there's enough room for the cake to expand up but not overflow. The cup should be no more than half full, a little less even.

Don't overcook as it will harden. This is meant to be super moist. Once it's ready use a knife to loosen the sides and hold a plate to cover the top and turn over.

Top with your favorites but since it's so rich we LOVED the vanilla ice cream and strawberries with it.

Seriously divine and everyone was so delighted with it. I made it for Valentine's Day and my hubby and daughter oohed and ahhed out how yummy it was but also how fancy it looked 😉 What they don't know and all that right?

In addition, you can drizzle Strawberry Ice Cream Topping on the ice cream and strawberries to add a delicious burst of strawberry flavor. I"m also thinking of having it with toasted coconut and coconut ice cream because chocolate and coconut= this mom is in heaven. If you make it let us know how you like it!

Seriously, what is there not to love about a super easy dessert that is sinfully good? It's so rich and chocolate-y and your topping choices are endless. My teen-ager has taken to making this dessert whenever she has a craving chocolate cake. She tops it with whatever she can find, ice cream, whip cream, whatever catches her fancy. I think I created a mug cake monster but again it's just so darn easy and tasty!
