Around the holidays, my kitchen could easily be mistaken for a teenagers room. Messy, ingredients everywhere, and about 10 electronics turned on at a time. This time of year is my absolute favorite, because my creative cook comes out in all the best ways.
Now, the cleanup can be a real drag, but it’s all worth it in the end, because I get to share with you some pretty awesome healthy and delicious recipes, like this chocolate mug cake! A scrumptious chocolate lovers dream, this chocolate mug cake recipe is a healthy alternative for those needing their holiday treat fix! The best part, EASY CLEAN UP!
What Is A Mug Cake?
Mugs aren’t just for your coffee anymore, sister! Take your mug-using game to a whole new level with chocolate mug cake! A mug cake is a single-serving cake that you can make in the microwave, using your favorite coffee mug!
How someone thought to put a cake inside a mug is beyond me, but I thank them a trillion times over! 🙏
3 Reasons To Make A Mug Cake
As if the name of the chocolate mug cake recipe wasn’t reason enough, here are awesome reasons to let mug cake into your life.
- Improves portion control—Because chocolate mug cake is a single serving, your portion control goals will thank you. Getting your cake fix in with any other regular cake leaves room for second helpings. Mug cake is an excellent alternative for anyone looking to eat a little less while still staying satisfied.
- Healthier alternative to regular cake—Now, I won’t knock regular cake too much, because it is, unfortunately, uber delicious. But it also comes with tons of unwanted calories and loads of sugar. This chocolate mug cake recipe is the perfect substitute for staying on track with your weight loss goals, while giving your taste buds the treat they crave. Chocolate mug cake contains no added sugar, and the single serving size has less calories than your traditional slice of cake.
- High in protein—Chocolate mug cake is packed with filling protein, can your cake do that? That’s because I’ve added Chocolate Cake Super Youth collagen to this mug cake for added skin-smoothing, tummy-filling benefits. Collagen, of course, is what makes our skin smooth and wrinkle free. It also contains more filling protein than just regular protein, so you stay fuller for longer without even trying! Not to mention the incredible chocolate cake flavor is destined to be in this recipe!
How To Make A Chocolate Mug Cake
Would you believe me if I said something so delicious takes just seven minutes to make?

I hope you enjoy this healthy alternative to cake, even if it makes your coffee a little jealous!
