A single-serving chocolate mug cake that you could be eating minutes from now. This egg-free cake has a gooey-moist texture, which you can firm up with an extra 30 seconds in the microwave if you like less lava in your lava-cake! This mug cake is best served immediately with a tablespoon-sized scoop of vanilla ice cream.
