Chocolate Espresso Mug Cake

This rich chocolate mug cake has a touch of espresso, heightening the bittersweet tones of the chocolate and making this mug cake even more pleasurable.

I’ve been tweaking my chocolate mug cake recipe and I’m in love with the newest version. It’s still really easy, but now with a deeper chocolate flavor and a more moist cake.

The hint of espresso made me think of coffee, so I brought out my coffee set and cooked the cake in the coffee cup. I think this presentation may be fun for a dinner party too.
