Double Chocolate Protein Mug Cake! For those days when you need cake and you need it now. Full of protein and wholesome delicious ingredients.
True story, there was a year back in college when Caleb and I went through a major “dessert in a mug” phase and probably made a cookie, cake, etc in a mug at least 3 times every week. #WhatATimeToBeAlive. So this double chocolate cake in a mug is bringing back all those memz with a slightly healthier take. I love a good “dessert in a mug” recipe because sometimes 1. you want something fast and 2. you really don’t want enough leftover cake to last 2 weeks. So a cake in a mug is the perfect solution! Super quick and delicious, you’re going to love!
