Mocha Mug Cake
How good does this look?
Mocha is my favorite espresso beverage to order at a coffee shop. So I decided to turn it into a mug cake. I even decorated it with whipped cream and chocolate sauce so it looks just like the drink.
I love the fact that it’s a coffee flavored cake cooked in a coffee mug.
You can taste both the chocolate powder and the espresso in the drink. And the cake comes out nice and moist.

I got mine from the William Sonoma store. You can’t usually find it a regular grocery store. But a small jar comes in handy for baking. A lot of chocolate recipes will ask you to put in a tsp of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. And of course it’s good for espresso flavored desserts.

Hi these look amazing!! I am very keen to try them ALL, however I do not own a microwave… I just dont like them & have honestly never required one up until now. How would you recommend cooking these little gems in the oven?

You know I’ve been asked this a few times now so next time I make a mug cake, I’m going to try putting one in the oven and see. So I can’t give you anything exact, but if I were to try it, I would set my oven at 350F, and try cooking it for about 10-15 minutes. Checking on it after 10, again at 15. Maybe it will be 20 minutes like a cupcake. Not positive. When I do find out for sure I’ll post my results. I also need to make sure my mugs can withstand so much heat from the oven for so long.

Wow, these mug cakes are great!! You should make a peppermint mug cake, because I can’t come up with the recipe myself!
