A chocolate mug cake is the perfect solution to chocolate craving and also makes a sweet little last minute gift!
Chocolate Mug Cake
Turn this chocolaty treat into a cute little gift with free printable gift tags.
Place the chocolate mug cake ingredients into a plastic bag and place inside a cut mug.
Print off the tags. They are in black and white so they may be printed on a wide variety of colored card-stock. Cut out the tags and punch a hole in the top of the tag and attach the tags to the mug handle or the plastic bag. Each mug will get two tags. One that says, “You take the cake!” and one with the chocolate mug cake instructions. If you like they could also be printed front and back to make one tag.

I must admit this has become my secret weapon for chocolate cravings. Warm gooey chocolate cake in less than five minutes start to finish! Yum. I personally like it a bit underdone so it tastes more like a lava cake. If you want to cut back on fat and calories 1 Tablespoon of oil works great!
