Cake in a Mug Recipe. This rich and chocolatey treat is perfectly portioned, ready in less than two minutes, and requires only three simple ingredients. Oh yeah, it will most definitely hit the sweet spot! It’s shockingly rich and indulgent; I love to enjoy it warm with a little whipped cream and pinch of cocoa powder. You can also customize this treat to make your own delish variation. Love mocha? Add a dash of instant coffee or espresso powder to the batter. Bananas or berries? Stir in some chopped fruit. Crazy for chocolate peanut butter? Mix in a teaspoon of your favorite nut butter and be ready to drool. Thanks to this lightened up creation you really can have your cake and eat it, too. You’re welcome!
