Chocolate Mocha Mug Cakes

Chocolate Mocha Mug Cake 11 683x1024

You guys: Chocolate Mocha Mug Cakes!!! And yes, I was slow to jump on the microwave cake train because I just feel so strongly about cake (also because I am a reformed cake hater–I know, I lived a sad childhood) and my thought was that cakes should be baked, not nuked.
Well, friends, I stand corrected.

Because these beautiful little mug cakes are pretty much paradise in an individual serving.

And I suppose this is a good time to mention the molten Nutella core.

Yes: molten Nutella.

Rejoice!

I was hesitant about microwave mug cakes because I worried about the texture. But these took probably 3 minutes total to whip up and I had myself essentially a chocolate souffle of awesome complete with a molten Nutella core.

I just cannot reiterate how amazing that core is. Because it melts and mixes with all that chocolate-mocha goodness and creates such decadence, I could not even speak, just sigh in the glory of it all.

Also: whipped cream. Totally necessary.

I put this cake in the microwave with all sorts of doubts leaning towards the “this will be a disaster” variety. 70 seconds later I dug my spoon into this hot mess and my life changed irrevocably for the better.

I’m already thinking of all the variations that should be mug-caked. Red velvet with a molten white chocolate core is next on my list!
