You can mark it down I said this on January 28th 2013- “This is the best chocolate cake in a mug you will ever eat.” Yes, I have claimed it and I stand by it! I was really amazed by this and guess what, it is my brain child. Well I am sure that some where out there someone else may have it but at the time I was swinging it. I was trying a new chocolate cake in a mug using Aunt Betty’s 123 cake and it was turning out horrible. I was frustrated because I wanted chocolate and I, uh, wanted it right then! I was looking in the cabinet for some caramel squares to see if that would make it taste better when I spied my can of Ghiradelli Chocolate Hazelnut Cocoa. I swear a light bulb was over my head and I started experimenting. Did I get it right off the bat? Nope, the first one was to watery, the second was too dry and I totally burnt the third try. Practice does really help and I nailed it the 4th time. It honestly tastes like real cake that you take out of the oven. Even my kids were shocked! *Squeee*
It is really simple because we are using Aunt Betty’s 321 formula but modifying it a touch.
Ingredients
- 1 White Cake Mix
- 1 Angel Food Cake Mix
- Ghirardelli Hazelnut Hot Cocoa
- Water
Instructions
- Mix your white cake mix and your angel food cake mix in a air tight container. If your angel food cake mix has a separate package containing egg whites, make sure you add them.
- In a large mug add 3tbsp. of your prep mix, 2 tbsp. of your Hot Cocoa, 2 tbsp. water. Mix together well.
- Place in microwave and cook for 1 minute 30 seconds.
- Let cool slightly and then eat. You can garnish with whip cream or chocolate syrup if you want.
If you try it let me know what you think!
