Happy Mother's Day treat, Chocolate Mug Cake
Easy to make with ingredients that most already have on hand. Dad (mom) and the kids can whip this up for mom when other plans may have fallen through or the constraints of daily living have gotten in the way of planning ahead.
Chocolate Mug Cake is a perfect treat for Mother's Day, birthdays, Valentine's or just because. This generous recipe makes enough to serve two if you want to share. Serving suggestions include fresh strawberries, ice cream, whipped topping or a caramel drizzle.
