Yesterday, Baby S went for a birthday party in our apartment, and within a few minutes, I received a couple of pictures in the WhatsApp group. The birthday boy was blowing off a candle and cutting a delicious looking chocolate cake; and all the kids (difficult to identify who is who, as all of them were wearing masks 😊😊) are standing around the table and cheering for him.
Looking at the birthday cake picture, I started getting a chocolate craving, but this time I had my quick fix ready; I remembered the first the time I prepared mug cake 😊
It was almost three years back; was supposed to be a lazy Sunday, but alas!! it started with a recurrence of Baby S’s fever and as usual Daddy S started panicking, putting all the blame on me, why didn’t I take her to see the doctor in the first place? Why did I send her to school after two days of fever remission blah blah blah 😒…
I, though irritated at his comments, started looking for doctor appointments, and to my dismay, I found only a couple of doctors are available…doctors should take special appointments on Sundays……anyway, after not much thought, I reluctantly booked an appointment with the pediatrician who did ear piercing for Baby S.
Baby S started crying as soon as she heard that we are going take her to the doctor which irritated Daddy S more and war broke out between them...oh god, give me a break.
However, the visit to the doctor was peaceful, so the afternoon actually turned out to be a lazy one.
Then it was time for our Sunday special evening snacks…ready to eat smiley, chicken nuggets with tomato ketchup & mayo and some fryums…and we were done…really???? Nooooo!! I wanted something else, I was craving for some chocolates…we had one coco filled cupcake left (MIL bought two) and both Baby S and Daddy S wanted to have it…what about me!!!!… I didn’t have a chocolate craving during my pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have one now.
I wanted chocolate cake within 5 minutes, I simply didn’t want to wait and didn’t want to go out…final outcome was yummy moist warm chocolate cake with chocolate sauce topping…and as by the time Baby S had already finished her cupcake, she wanted to share my mug cake also…and her the comment was, “Mamma, it’s so yummy, I like it” 😋
So, here is the recipe for a warm moist chocolate mug cake…put together in a jiffy within 5 minutes for your unbearable chocolate cravings
Ingredients:
- ¼ th cup all-purpose flour
