Do you ever get a chocolate craving that only a decadent cake can satisfy? Instead of making the entire cake (and eating far more than you normally would), why not make a delicious cake for one? This delicious chocolate mint mug cake is perfect for those late night sweet tooth cravings because it serves just one and takes less than five minutes to make!
Our favorite part of this recipe (besides how quick it is to make) is the minty cream cheese filling in the center! With each forkful, you get gooey milk chocolate and minty, sweet filling. It’s a much more practical way to indulge this holiday season, don’t you think?
