Chocolate Cake is pretty much the best thing out there, am I right??!

Well, combine chocolate cake and Toucan Mugs and Yellow Striped Mugs and adorably printed rolling pins and it’s a match made in heaven!

When I saw the new Whim by Martha Stewart Collection available at Macy’s, my heart skipped a few beats and I knew I had to combine chocolate and the Whim line right away!  Today I am sharing a delicious Chocolate Cake in a Mug!

Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Chocolate cake in a mug is the best thing since sliced bread because clean up is so minimal and you aren’t temped to eat an entire cake on a Friday night while watching Netflix.  You only eat a mug’s worth of cake, which is the perfect amount!  So, it is really a win win for everyone.

  1. Best light cake mug recipe – box any flavor cake mix, box angel food cake mix, mix together in a ziplock. Add 1/3 cup cake mix, 3 Tbls water, 1 min, 2 WW pts plus. Awesomeness light.

  2. These are so adorable – I love the little toucans so much! And I’ve been wanting to make a cake in a mug – I need to try your recipe out!
