Say goodbye to the late night, “I-want-a-dessert-but-don’t-want-to-make-a-mess” dilemma. This is a mug cake like you’ve never seen before! I have tried several types of the mug cakes and they all taste eggy, rubbery, and just not good. Not to mention they all take tons of flour, and pulling out a lot of ingredients.

Chocolate Mug Cake Mix

Simply mix together a box of Angel Food Cake mix and a box of Chocolate Cake mix in a large bowl with a whisk. Cover with a lid, or put in an air tight container.

Easy Gift Idea

Or- put in cute little mason jars for easy gifts to pass along. – attach a simple tag with these directions…

  • Place 3 tablespoons of mix in a mug
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water
  • Mix together and microwave for 1 minute

And there you have it! 3-2-1 Chocolate Cake!

Of course, since it’s so easy and practically no clean-up, get out a fancy dish and enjoy! I always keep a can of Redi-whip on hand… it’s very necessary.

This cake is by far, the best Mug Cake I have ever eaten, it’s moist, light and fluffy like an angel food cake, and done in 1 minute.

  5. No special plans (that I'm aware of) for Mother's Day. The day will probably consist of church, a nap, and work that night…. I'm hoping 'he went to Jared' LOL

  27. I will be working on Mother's day but I will see my step mother this weekend to show her how much I love her. I would love to win the gift card and give it right over to her. She loves pier one so what a fabulous gift it would be! She has been nothing but like a mother to me since she and my father were married and it would such an honor to be able to give her one extra unexpected and special gift!

  29. Planning a special dinner and staying home with family. Nothing beats taking the time to cook for someone you love. . . I could take her out, but she's more of a homebody and, well, it's easy to pay a bill at the end of a meal, but to plan a favorite meal of their's and make it is more special.
