You Will Love Hot Cocoa Mug Cake Recipe
I challenge you to find a gooier way to feel cozy on a cold winter day. I love the hot chocolate flavor the mix brings to the cup of goodness.
And those warm melted marshmallows... heaven! The marshmallows and chocolate chips elevate this chocolate mug cake to craving-worthy!
Or try my favorite--add a little marshmallow fluff on top and... Ohhhhh! Lawd! It's all the things!
Top Tip
Trust me when I tell you, do not skimp on the cup size. Use a cappuccino or latte-sized mug (12 ounces).
Marshmallows expand in the microwave and if your cup it too small a mess will ensue.

What is a Mug Cake? ☕️
Mug Cakes are simply a cake made with simple ingredients, cooked in the microwave. They are typically 1 or 2 servings.
I love the single-serving mug cake collection of recipes because they are delicious and easy to make with kitchen staples.
Choosing your Mug
Trust me with this one... marshmallows swell in the microwave. Use a 12-ounce mug! If it holds 1 ½ cups of liquid you should be fine.
But keep an eye on this one while cooking to make sure your marshmallows are getting too crazy in there!
