SMORES MUG IN A CAKE
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 2.5 min
This s'mores mug cake has graham cracker crumbs in it, mallow bits, unsweetened cocoa and a nice pile of toasted mini marshmallows and some whipped topping to top it off.
It's only natural that I add a s'mores mug cake to my collection of recipes. It's the perfect microwavable cake. It's tender and full of flavor. The graham cracker crumbs lend the cake a lot of its flavor and the unsweetened cocoa gives it the right amount of chocolatey taste. It's basically the best kind of s'mores. One of my favorite parts of this cake is the toasted mini marshmallows on top of the cake. It makes this little cake feel like a real s'mores.
When you bite into this moist cake, you can taste the spiced graham cracker flavor. As you work away eating it, you'll run into pockets of chocolate and mallow bits. My kids couldn't get enough of this cake. Luckily I made this cake about 3 times before being completely happy with it so there was plenty to go around.
