HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT MUG CAKE

INGREDIENTS:



4 Tbs self rising flour (I’m pretty sure the self rising part is important)
4 Tbs white granulated sugar
3 Tbs cocoa powder
3 Tbs Nutella (Yeah, I said Nutella)
3 Tbs Olive or Vegetable oil (I used Veggie)
1 egg
3 Tbs PEPPERMINT Mocha creamer (This is the trick! Or you can replace with any flavored creamer you enjoy! Do I hear Caramel anyone?? Not a creamer fan? Use MILK!)

SUPER HARD DIRECTIONS {wink}
1. Mix everything together in a small mixing bowl.
2. Pour mix into one very large Christmasy (it’s a word!) coffee mug or 2 regular sized mugs. Fill your mug about HALF WAY because the mix WILL rise!
3. MICROWAVE (That’s right!) for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes! Times are approximate depending on your microwave. (Check with a toothpick like you would a real cake to see if it is cooked all the way through to the bottom!)
4. Top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup like I did or with frosting and ENJOY!!!!
