10. Easy Chocolate Mug Cakes
Cake recipes can be time consuming. But sometimes you just want cake, quick. That’s where mug cakes come in. Made exactly how they sound, mug cakes are individual little cakes that are cooked in mugs in the microwave. This means that you can have a freshly made cake ready to eat in a matter of minutes and it’s the perfect option if you’re baking for one. We love the chocolate lava version of these but you can make mug cakes in pretty much any flavour you’d like.
