We only had peanut butter M&M's in the house and that wasn't doing it for me.
I wanted cake. I am so pregnant.
Thankfully we did have these.
So I made this.
Not exactly decadent, but chocolate-y enough to satisfy.
Chocolate Cake in a Mug
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. of good cocoa powder (or sipping chocolate from TJ's if that's all you have)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
2 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. oil
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. chocolate chips
Stir all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, then pour into a mug. Batter will double in size so be sure the mug is big enough.
Heat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. [50 was perfect for mine]
Top with ice cream, or whipped cream or whatever your heart desires. I've been a raspberry fiend this pregnancy, and it was perfection.

Yum! That looks fantastic, and I am not even pregnant right now. I love reading your blog. I check on here daily just to see if you have a new post. You have such a beautiful way of writing and your words are very inspiring. I am a mom who lost 2 babies. I have not lost 5, so I can not completely relate, but each of our losses hurt deeply and were very hard to deal with. We prayed for you a lot when you had the sextuplets and have been following your story since. The second baby I lost was a girl and we named her Lucia after your beautiful angel. I pray that you have a safe and easy pregnancy with your latest precious miracle. I can't wait to hear what you name him. I just wanted to thank you for your blog. Your beautiful family has been a joy to read. Thanks for sharing with us.
This sounded so good when I read it earlier. I turned my compuet back on and pulled this page up again and made the cake just now! I couldn't stop thinking about it! :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Oh my gosh, the raspberries. I buy the big boxes at Costco 4-6 at a time because I eat a whole box every day. Plus blueberries. I never had a sweet tooth before being pregnant so this is good to know! :) (23 weeks)
ok - I've never heard of doing that! Love it! thanks for the simple recipe :)
Miss Brianna Shane & I loved your recipe! our cocoa wasn't "good" cocoa powder but it was still tasty! Shane thought it was cool! Hope you are doing well! Jen

P.S. I'm sorry for the word verification step, but oh, my. I'm getting lots of spam.
