"An easy fix for those late night cravings: This mug cake is chocolatey, fluffy, and made in a flash in the microwave. Just make sure to use microwave safe mugs or a bowl that can hold the liquids needed in this recipe. The specific measurements for this delicate cake is at least 250ml/1 cup of liquids with a 3,5 cm/1.3 inches empty space at the top. If you don’t have the chocolate spread, peanut butter is also great. Finally, treat yourself to whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as a topping and complete this chocolate fantasy."
