Chocolate Lava Cake, in a Mug

I don’t know if you’ve ever had a lava cake before, but if you have you know they are delicious and a little tricky when It comes to actually making them, so I developed this recipe to help make that easier! The traditional lava cake is filled with a little bit of uncooked batter, but this lava cake is filled with melted dark chocolate! Simply delicious, and it’s single-serving so you don’t need a bunch of ingredients!

• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

2. In a small bowl whisk ALL dry ingredients
3. Add the milk and vegetable oil and mix until well combined,
4. Pour batter into a greased microwave-safe mug
5. Pop out the frozen chocolate and insert it into the center of the mug until no longer visible, but not touching the bottom
6. Cook the cake in your microwave for around 70 seconds on high (Note: A napkin or piece of paper towel underneath the mug will catch any overflow)

8. Pat the mug lightly, and lift up and voila! You now have your very own scrumptious chocolate lava cake! Enjoy warm!
