Cake in a cup or cupcake in a mug, microwave cake!! Whatever you want to call it , it’s simple to make, rich, full of chocolate and the best! You can’t not make it!! Enjoy!

I made it with gluten free flour, low allergy chocolate chips, coconut sugar. I bit gummy from my flour, but I haven’t anything like this in a couple of years. Thank you! What a treat for this 100 degree day.

This has been my pandemic go-to chocolate fix! The recipe is so simple and really versatile. I‘ve swapped out espresso with chocolate syrup, added caramel or peanut butter.. I even tried nuts (not recommended).

I don't have microwave, can I use oven? What temperature ? Thank you.
Verna
Hi Jeff, You would need an oven safe mug. Bake at 350° for 15-25 minutes. Hope that helps!
