How to Make S’mores Mug Cake

  1. Melt the Butter and Chocolate: Put 3 tablespoons of butter and the chocolate chips in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 20-30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate is smooth. Set it aside.
  2. Prep the Mug: Spray the inside of a large microwave-safe mug with cooking spray so the cake doesn’t stick.
  3. Create the Crust: Mix the rest of the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs. Press this mixture into the bottom of your mug.
  4. Make the Batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and vanilla. Then, stir in the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Combine It All: Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the batter and mix well. Pour half of the batter into your mug.
  6. Layer the Marshmallows: Place 2 marshmallows on top of the batter in the mug, then pour the remaining batter over them. Finish by placing the last 2 marshmallows on top.
  7. Microwave: Pop the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
