Black Forest Chocolate Mug Cake

Everything in moderation, right?

I’m kind of obsessed with mug cakes. They are great when watching portion control, and they are so easy Mr. Mother Thyme can even make them! I’m not exaggerating when I say that on several occasions when I’m cozy in bed and the craving strikes for a warm piece of cake when I’m watching Downton Abbey or Real Housewives I have sent Mr. Mother Thyme to the kitchen to whip a mug cake up for one. I love them so much that I don’t have to go through the trouble of whipping up an entire cake that will then tempt me to want to eat it all myself.

  1. This is great. I was watching a rerun of the Bev Hills housewives when I got the e-mail. Read it and the first commercial I got the stuff together, second commercials, I whipped up the recipe and third set of commercials I was eating chocolate cake. How cool is this? Yummies made simple, thank you.
