How we use hot chocolate microwave mug cake in our home
My mother surprised me with a handcrafted tea set from Poland.
I have teacups from around the world, this was such a special gift to me and my girls!
What a better way to celebrate a warm afternoon (love Texas weather) than by having a hot chocolate party to christen in our tea set, together.
We decided chocolate mug cakes would be the perfect thing to help us celebrate.
This recipe is so easy that my 7 year old made these!
The cakes will be shaped differently depending on the size and shape of the mug.
I think my girls are developing a love of chocolate and “parties” too!
Happy chocolate cake tea party!

No doubt this would be a huge hit – thanks for linking up at After School!
This sounds delicious!
Looks awesome and so easy! Pinning!
Great to “meet” you on craft schooling Sunday, and love this post. Gorgeous tea pot gift, and love that you took the cakes out of the mugs, great call! Now I just have to find a way to re-interpret your cake mix ingredients without a mix, mixes are very expensive here (and quite new actually) so it’s not worth it. All the best!
Thank you so much for the easy and quick recipe! I am in love with your beautiful blue and White dishes. Came from Saturday Sparks, you are featured there and me too, lol! Enjoy your weekend.

Yum! Hot chocolate is one of our favorite drinks of the winter season so we can't wait to try this recipe ourselves! This is a great and quick recipe to try out with family and friends during the holiday vacation. We will be tweeting your hot chocolate cake recipe to our followers from our Twitter account, @OncorPML. Thanks for sharing!
I tried these and they turned out like Pudding or like a fallen cake, help. Is there a certain angle food mix or brownie mix you are to use, or maybe the microwave setting.
