Many of us are looking for something sweet to eat on Valentine’s day – especially chocolate – and this mug cake is the perfect solution.

It’s fast and easy to make – the batter gets mixed up in a bowl, transferred to a coffee mug and microwaved for 1 minute. Literally 1 minute!
It’s just enough for 1 or 2 people, making it the perfect dessert to share on Valentine’s day.
It satisfies the chocolate deliciousness we sometimes crave – even when it’s not Valentine’s day.
It’s made of dark cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips (so much amazing chocolate!), which contains antioxidants that are good-for-us. Yay!

And overall, it’s just super fun to make a dessert in a coffee mug. If you decide to share, it’s scrumptious served with a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt. The perfect sweet treat!
