So I know mug cakes have been a thing for a while now. I have even tried to come up with my own microwave brownie in a mug recipe, but it didn’t quite work out. It seemed underdone, then overdone & then I was done. Anyway, I was thrilled to have the chance to try this Shirley J Mugging mix.
1 pouch, 5 Tablespoons of water, 90 seconds in the microwave. DONE!
Awesome!!! Not to mention the really nice mugs that Shirley J has to offer. The handles don’t even get hot! And there are a variety of mugging flavors to choose from: chocolate brownie cake (which is also available gluten free), yellow cake, corn bread, pumpkin spice bread, no-pan pancake, quiche in a cup, & walnut bread.
I, of course, put my own additional spin to this yummy mug cake. So I introduce you to the S’mores Mug Cake! My husband & I shared our mug, which is perfect for two. I don’t think I could have downed the whole thing myself because it’s deceptively, a lot of cake. But it’s the perfect little dessert after dinnertime. We loved it! You will want to try this!
S’mores Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 1 (4oz) pouch Shirley J Mugging Chocolate Brownie Cake
- 5 Tbsp warm water
- 3 large marshmallows
- 1 Tbsp chocolate chips/chunks
- 1/4 of 1 graham cracker, crumbled
Instructions
- Place Shirley J Mugging Chocolate Brownie Mix in a (2-cup) microwave safe mug. Add warm water & mix vigorously with a fork until well-blended.
- Microwave 90-seconds (based on an 1100 watt oven) or until done. May check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's done.
- Immediately top with chocolate chips. Allow to melt & spread over the top of the cake.
- Toast marshmallows with a fork over a small candle (toasting the marshmallows is optional.) Place marshmallows onto the top of the cooked mug cake, & return to microwave for an additional 20 seconds or until marshmallows puff up. Remove & top with crumbled graham cracker & additional chocolate chips, if desired. Enjoy warm & gooey!
