Give me one minute. I'll give you cake.

Chocolate Mug Cake | a simple, rich cake ready in less than 2 minutes | Born Daily
Okay...we might need one minute- thirty seconds, but really, a cake to curb your cravings can be yours in no time flat. 

Have you heard of mug cakes? or maybe I mean cake in a mug? Well, if you're like me, you might have dismissed the validity of this treat. I tend not to discriminate between my sweets so I still can't explain why I wasn't a believer in the cake from your microwave trend. BUT I'm a bandwagonner now! BECAUSE CAKE FROM YOUR MICROWAVE IS AWESOME! 

Apparently, there are all kind of variations of this magic dessert. Like these, or these, or whoa, these.

Let's chat about the recipe that's led me to the dark side. It's simple. It's chocolate-y. Well, maybe, extra chocolatey is more accurate. After a little whisking and waiting, you have a rich and warm and utterly delectable cake. Even if you're not a true cake person like me (gasp! I know...), this is a winner. 

Chocolate Mug Cake
Recipe from our favorite Trisha Yearwood 
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 ounce chocolate chips, dark, semi-sweet, or milk- your choice!

1. Whisk all ingredients except chocolate chips together in small bowl until well combined. Batter will be thick.
2. Pour batter into a favorite mug and sprinkle those chocolate chips on top.
3. Pop the mug in the microwave and set for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. I ended up at about 1 minute, 8 seconds. (I wanted a little gooey cake to remain.)
4. Let cool for a minute. For a little more indulgence, top with whipped cream. 

Yep, that is it. Enjoy this cute little single-serving cake when ever your sweet tooth strikes, especially when there's not much time to bake.

Now, go make this cake. Ewe crazy not to. :) {ba dum dum, I couldn't resist! I adore this clay mug I found at Gordman's during the holidays}.
Have a great rest of the week, friends!

Until next time--
​xoxo
