Sometimes, you just feel like a little cake. Especially chocolate cake. (Am I right or am I right?!?) And that’s when mug cakes come in so handy. They are fast, easy and tasty — and they totally take care of the cake craving.

To make a mug cake, you stir together a few ingredients in a mug until it’s nice and smooth. Then you pop it in the microwave for a minute or so. Wait for it to sit for a short couple minutes and you have something incredible.

What’s better is that with a little tweaking of the ingredients, you can add nuanced flavors that make the mug cake really special. That’s exactly what I did with this mug cake. I took my favorite mug cake recipe and traded the normal milk added for International Delight York® Peppermint Pattie Creamer, giving it an amazing peppermint flavor. And then I stirred in some white chocolate chips, which created a fudgy double chocolate bottom to the cake.

It’s super easy. It’s delicious. And it’s ready in under five minutes … does it get any better?

A minty, chocolatey mug cake with a double chocolate fudgy bottom. This recipe was created for International Delight.

Ingredients

2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1/4 cup International Delight York® Peppermint Pattie Creamer
1 tsp canola oil
1 tbsp white chocolate chips
powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

In a small mug, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until uniformly combined. Add the creamer and oil. Stir well (whisking with a fork or a small whisk is best, but a spoon is okay too -- just be sure that you really get those dry ingredients well mixed with the wet ones). Add the chocolate chips and stir well.
Microwave for one minute. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy.
