Ahh….S’mores! The ultimate trio of crispy graham crackers, rich chocolate and gooey marshmallow! It’s my secret indulgence that takes me right back to my childhood. My dad built a small backyard brick firepit when I was really young. If memory serves me right, it was mainly for us to roast marshmallows on a stick, and even better when we used them for s’mores. It was nice to do on a cool summer night with my family.🥰🍫 This is a huge nod to the classic, but all contained in a big mug, so no mess!
Try this s'mores mug cake today! A single-serving recipe that can be made in the microwave for a quick and easy indulgence. This recipe is for one big mug, so make sure you double or use smaller mugs for two people.
Let’s begin!

Instructions:
Mix your dry ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients until well blended, then add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined. This will be your cake batter.
The construction is simple, but important in the even baking of the cake and the perfect position of the marshmallow. At the very end of the cake being done, the marshmallow peaks up just perfectly for you to swirl the gooey goodness all around with the other ingredients and dig in! That being said, I included step-by-step photos to show the construction.
