 There are some days where you just want some chocolate cake but know that you’ll eat too much if you make a whole cake.   That’s when the 5 minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug comes to the rescue.   Chocolate craving taken care of – check.   No leftovers – check.   <\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I was first introduced to this recipe when I was pregnant with my first child.   I have to admit that I made this a little too often in those days.   It’s probably the reason I put on about 40 pounds \ud83d\ude42   These days I have 3 children who share one mug of cake with me, which works much better for my waistline.  <\/p>\n

One of my aunts emailed me just after I started blogging, to make sure I had this recipe.  I promised that I would post it, and I’ve finally got around to it.   So this is for you Aunty Marg!    <\/p>\n

Life has been quite busy lately, so this recipe is perfect for when life is feeling a little crazy.   Who ever knew that things would get busier when you finally get all your children into school?<\/p>\n
