Unicorn tracks mug cake

Mug cakes are just about the easiest recipe to make since you simply MICROWAVE it. It takes about five minutes and you’ve got yourself a single-serving cake. You can even simplify it even more by taking a few tablespoons of cake mix, an equal amount of liquid (soda works well!), and microwaving that. Dead easy. Really delish. And you’re not left with a giant cake to taunt you on the counter.

If you’ve been here before, you may remember this unicorn tracks mug cake I made a while back. It’s a little more involved since it’s low carb, but just as fun.

Mexican hot chocolate donuts

Originally I wanted this to just be a coffee mug cake to be just really meta. Coffee in a mug… cake. You get it. But then I remembered the joy that is Mexican hot chocolate and decided to spice it up with chocolate, cinnamon, and a little chili powder. I had previously done this with these Mexican hot chocolate brownie donuts. A little spice, a lot of sweet, and it’s all so good.

I had also planned to incorporate some chocolate-covered espresso beans and totally forgot to add them. Are you kidding me? I went ahead and re-made it a day later, but this is the original. Feel free to totally add those in, though. They’ll amp this up hardcore.

While writing another post for my day job, I spied this gorgeous ceramic mug that looks like carved wood! I’m seriously considering snagging it since I think it’d make these dark mug cakes look so rich:
