Chocolate Cake in a Mug

With finals coming up, we know you can’t make it to Val.  Lily has us covered when it comes to in dorm makeshift recipes.  Most of the supplies are in every baker’s kitchen, so call up a friend and take a study break. (Also great for when you get home at 2am and you have a craving for something AMAZING)

Thanks Lily, we will all use this recipe well!

How to make chocolate cake in a mug.

Your favorite mug can be used for a multitude of things. Tea, pen holder, a small pot for flowers or plants, and a cake pan for when you want some dessert.

A mug, a few ingredients, and three minutes are all you need to make a delicious single-serve mug cake.

Combine the cake mix ingredients in a large mug, mix ’em up, microwave for about a minute, and you’ll have a personal-sized dessert in a zap.
