The BEST 2- minute microwave chocolate mug cake you will ever make!

There. I said it. This, guys, is seriously the best chocolate mug cake you will ever make. For years, I have tried following a lot of recipes I have seen out there but nothing was good enough for me. They were always never enough sweet or never enough moist or sometimes even never enough chocolate!! I tried and tried, ever since the microwave mug cake thing started a few years ago. But it just never worked for me.

Then I saw this video by Trisha Yearwood for making a chocolate mug cake and that cake looked really moist, atleast in the video. I made it the same day and eventhough it was not as 1moist as I wanted it to be, it was still one of the better ones I had made. So I took that recipe and have been modifying it for the last one year or so and voila , here is my recipe for an instant chocolate mug cake! And yes, it has lots of chocolate, it is moist, it is sweet, it is everything you want in a chocolate cake!!

What are you waiting for? scroll down to the recipe and make it right now. Trust me, you wont regret it!

I think the secret to this recipe is half a shot of freshly made hot espresso and chocolate and coffee extracts. It adds some much needed moisture to take care of any dryness in the cake and coffee always elevates the chocolate flavor to make it so much more divine.

I always use Nielsen Massey brand of extracts, whether it is Vanilla extract, Coffee extract or Chocolate extract. Not only does this brand have a wide variety of extracts, I find the flavors to be so much more concentrated than other brands. Do you ahve a favorite brand that you use? I would love to know!
