Hot Chocolate Mug Cake

Am I bit mug-cake-crazy lately? That's a thing right? If Pinterest is any indication, then yes. Yes, it is. 

Can you blame me? I love my desserts that take a week to make, but some days you need cake STAT. 
So what is the mug cake du jour? It's hot chocolate mug cake! I found a way to make mug cakes even faster than before! I've cut out a whole ten seconds for measuring cocoa and sugar. You're welcome! 

This has everything. It's under five ingredients, less than a minute to make and microwavable. It's the trifecta!

I guess it could be gluten free, sugar free, or....well.... by that point it's pretty taste free. So let's just not, okay?
Part of the beauty here is you can use whatever flavor of hot chocolate mix you like! I've used vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate all with splendid results!

Now the question will come: What if my hot chocolate mix is in a can, not a packet? Well my dears, I'd say that's pretty easy. Whatever your can recommends for one cup of hot chocolate should be the equivalent.

Without further ado:

Hot Chocolate Mug Cake

1 packet hot chocolate mix
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon oil

Mix together and microwave 30 seconds, or until desired consistency.
