I like to throw a few toffee bits on top of the cake batter before baking for some crunch.

Cook time may vary a little with oven size.

Once they are baked, you can enjoy the chocolate cake in the mug or pop them out, which I like to do.

Then I like to spread a little Nutella on top ~ Decadent, I know!

Ingredients & Preparation Tips for this recipe

Hazelnut Spread – I have to go with Nutella on this one. It really is the best hazelnut spread in my opinion. I also like to spread the top of the cake with Nutella and a few bits for more flavor. I like to pop the cakes out of the mugs but you can enjoy them in the mugs if you wish.

Whipped Cream – Ok you really don't have to have whipped cream for this recipe, but it makes a nice topping for the cakes. You can also top with a scoop of ice cream too!

Toffee Bits – I like to add a few toffee bits before baking, but you can top them with chocolate chips if you like. They just add a little flavor.

Peanut Butter - frost the entire cake with your favorite brand.

Brownie Style - You can also top this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and chopped nuts.

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

  • Prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time for this sweet treat and store until ready for use.
  • You can make these earlier in the day and just keep them covered like a small cake, but honestly, they take such little time to make, you might as well make them when you are ready for them.
  • You can sub egg yolk for the egg.

    I would need toffee bits AND whipped cream, of course.
    I've never made a mug cake but I'm intrigued by the idea. This would be the one I'd make.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
