Microwaveable Mug Cakes

At first, I was completely against the idea of cooking delicious baked goods inside a mug. It seems preposterous, and the fact that it will fully cook inside a microwave is unbelievable. However, I've been missing out on mouth-watering goodness.

Today, I felt spontaneous and found a chocolate espresso mug cake recipe online and found out that I have all the ingredients. I was doubtful, but I whisked together all of the ingredients, zapped it in the microwave for 90 seconds and voila, a masterpiece is born. The versatility of the microwave seems endless now, and I can't wait to experiment some more.

Here is the chocolate espresso mug cake recipe that I borrowed from Kurryleaves.
