For those who are visual learners like I am here are some in process photos for you of the gluten free chocolate mug cake. Melt butter in microwave and then add chocolate chips right away to melt in the hot butter.

Chocolate Mug Cake process 1

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.

Chocolate Mug Cake process 5

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!

Looks so yummy!!! ? thanks for sharing this…I’m going to try this and share it with my other friends who have to be gluten-free because we are fighting Chronic Lyme Disease and chronic inflammatory response syndrome.
