5 Minute Chocolate Fudge S’mores Mug Cake.
Just sharing a s’mores mug cake today. That can be made in 5 minutes.
You know… NO BIG DEAL.
Since you’re asking, yes… I have always thought the whole “cake in a mug in a microwave” thing was sort of skeevy. Well, until I was feeling superbly lazy last week and housing a mad chocolate craving. Like, really mad. So I gave it a try.
And another.
Annnnnd maybe another. Oops.
And another?
Then I thought… is there anything in the world that I’m more obsessed with than s’mores? Umm nope. There isn’t. But just so you know, I’m also allowed to say that about guacamole, Ryan Gosling and chocolate peanut butter. So stop looking at me that way.
In minutes, with a few tweaks and twists and makeshift graham crusts and marshmallow middles, I had a s’mores mug.
And it was just SO… FUDGEY.
Sidebar: for years as a quick treat, I’ve melted butter in a bowl, added graham cracker crumbs, thrown on some chocolate chips and marshmallows then stuffed it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Then I usually burn the roof of my mouth because I’m so impatient and inhale it anyway.
And you know what?
This is like, A BILLION TIMES BETTER.
Sorry for the shouting, but it’s necessary. !!!
This is a much more practical, easier, quicker version of my smore’s cake in a jar, with marshmallows stuffed in the center and even a few healthier adjustments.
I want to marry this mug. Don’t judge me.
And if you love someone (like yourself), this would be an outstanding choice for a fast Valentine’s Day dessert. So… love yourself. PUHlease.
5 Minute Chocolate Fudge S’mores Mug Cake
[adapted from food network]
makes 1 serving, can easily be doubled
2-3 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (mine was dark cocoa, hence the dark color)
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 ounces milk chocolate (chopped or morsels)
marshmallow fluff, cream or actual marshmallows
Combine 3 tablespoons butter and 1 ounce of chocolate in a small bowl, then melt in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Set aside. In another bowl, combine remaining melted butter with 2-3 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs and stir until moistened. Press graham crumbs into the bottom of your mug.
In a bowl. whisk egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add in flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa, stir until a thick batter forms. Stream in melted butter and chocolate, mixing to combine. Fold in remaining chocolate chips. Add half of the mixture on top of the graham crust, then throw on a scoop of marshmallow fluff/cream or a few marshmallows. Add remaining batter on top, then pop in the microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds to almost 2 minutes. Remove and top with additional marshmallow if desired. You can pop it back in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to make them melty, or pop them directly under the broiler for about 10 seconds to toast if desired. You can also use a kitchen torch if you have one. Sprinkle with graham crumbs!
Notes: If you don’t have whole wheat pastry flour, you can use all-purpose. I would not recommend using regular whole wheat. Additionally, I have made this by substituting coconut butter for the full amount of butter. It was just as delicious, albeit slightly drier. You cannot taste coconut at all. Finally, take into account the power of your microwave. Mine has a mind of it’s own and is insanely powerful, so I cooked this on 80% power. Judge accordingly and add/subtract a few minutes of cooking if you know your’s is wonky too. Unfortunately it may take 1-2 trial runs to get the right consistency because all microwaves are different, but I promise it’s worth it!
And that’s Friday for you.

I made this tonight and only ate half, because this dessert is 1,000 calories. Now, I’m on a mission to make a lighter version so I can make my cake and eat it, too (without guilt).
This looks AMAZING must buy more coco powder so I can make it!!! :)

Wow…looks delicious! I’ll surely try the recipe…Thanks for sharing!
I just tried it on this cold snowy day and although it was yummy, the marshmellows from the center overflowed my cup and made a mess in my microwave! Any advice on how to avoid this???

Such an awesome recipe! I just made it and it satisfied the sweet tooth craving I’ve been having all day. I did use whole wheat flour, and I think it gave it a nice texture. I also used a pretty large mug, which worked well. I used regular mini-marshmallows, but they all were completely disintegrated by the time it was done microwaving. Still, it was an excellent cake! I featured my attempt at the recipe on my blog here . :)
Hi! LOVE your blog! This is the second time I’ve ran across it, first on Pinterest and then again on a recent elleandblair.com post! I’m trying this out right now!!

I take it the marshmallows aren’t supposed to rapidly expand and pop the top of the cake off like a cannon, are they
if I try this again, definitely using regular marshmallows, rather than a couple of torn up huge ones
and maybe a bigger mug

I tried the recipe and it works great, but there’s one problem. I’ve got no cocoa powder. Four AM. Chocolate craving. No cocoa powder. After moving on from utter devastation, i decided to replace it with a tablespoon of cinnamon. I did everything else according to recipe, but I did add in a tablespoon of walnuts. My marshmallows rose to the top instead of staying buried in the middle, but it was still delicious with a big scoop of ice cream. I tried it with peanut butter instead just for fun. It’s to die for.

This was OK. Mine came out pretty rubbery but a lot of that has to do with cooking time and microwave power. The concept is great, but I hate wasting precious s’more-building ingredients :( Maybe I’ll give it a few tweaks, as I (like a lot of you folks) prefer molten and fudgy to rubbery and dry. At least it didn’t overflow!
I love it! I’ve made it twice already
I didn’t really like it but I could of done it wrong
Well judging from that sentence, I’d say it’s more than likely.
lmao

write up is funny but recipe is too much work for a single serving
I do not have any baking powder, but I do have self-rising flour. Could I substitute the baking powder and wholewheat flour with white self rising flour?
Not a fan.

Just made this.. while it took me 20 minutes to prepare I’d be willing to hold my lack of experience in the kitchen accountable for that. As for taste, it’s rather yummy. though it seems to have a metallically taste? Wondering if this is because I failed to combine the baking powder well enough, as this is only in occasional bites. I do recommend!
