This mug cake is an ACTUAL. GAME CHANGER. I used to get borderline depressed because the only chocolate cake that satisfies me is from Garibaldi, which is Gabe's and my Valentine's Day restaurant, and one cannot just go get that cake for no reason, because IT MUST RETAIN ITS SPECIALNESS.
But I found a way to cheat the system. I give you, a mug cake so delicious it borders on miraculous:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of flour (you can also do 1/8 and fill the rest with protein powder and it works fine)
- a generous 1/4 cup of sugar
- a generous 2 tablespoons of unsweetened coco powder
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla
- mini chocolate chips (I dunno, like half a tablespoon?)
Method:
- Mix the dry ingredients all together. I use a fork.
- Mix in the wet ingredients. Stir til smooth.
- Add in the mini chocolate chips.
- Microwave for about 1 minute and 5 seconds, give or take.
- Top with syrup if you're an outrageous chocoholic like myself.*

Is this good for you? Absolutely not. Is it good? Absolutely.

* This is "one serving," but is actually too much for me to enjoy. I like to either half everything, share with Gabe, or eat it anyway and then regret being born for the next hour.
