We all love the sound “chocolate” that escapes our hungry mouths. You hear that and ears perk up like they’ve been waiting to hear that sound. Chocolate comes from all the way back to the Aztecs where cocoa beans were treated like money. Then, as Europe evolved it was brought to the rich and royals and it was a very bitter drink that only the wealthy could afford to buy. Then, chocolate started to change it got sweeter and sweeter and we are able to get it in solid form and enjoy it in a variety of flavours and ways. But it became sweet and delicious. When you want to feel good about your day you just need chocolate and it immediately gets better. So here’s a delicious chocolate cake recipe. However, this is the selfish version of a chocolate cake why? Because it serves one person as this is a personal mug cake that you can make in your very own microwave. A chocolate mug cake is a quick, single-serving dessert that's both indulgent and easy to make. Typically prepared in a microwave, it combines a few simple ingredients like flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, milk, and oil or butter. In just a few minutes, you have a rich, warm, and fudgy cake that’s perfect for satisfying a sudden sweet craving. Many variations also include add-ins like chocolate chips or a scoop of ice cream on top.
