Raspberry Chocolate – Chocolate Chip Mug Brownie Cakes, an easy homemade mug cake. Happy Valentine’s Day! Ok, so I’m a week early but I couldn’t resist making a cute little treat for the family ahead of time. These mug brownie cakes come together quick and are so adorable! I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day but how can you resist a cute, fun, and easy Valentine’s dessert for the family?! You can vary the flavors and make them all your own (see my tips/suggestions at the end of the recipe).

Is it a cake or is it a brownie? Who cares, it’s the best of both worlds and yummy!!!  When you spoon the batter into the mugs it should be about 1/2 to 2/3 or so up the side.  These will rise, so make sure they have enough room.

Every mug is a little different so be sure to keep an eye on them in the oven so that you don’t overbake them.

I let the kids decorate their own mug cakes after MUCH begging on their part.  They had a great time and it kept them busy for a few minutes so I can’t complain.  When they were done decorating, I didn’t have the heart to tell them the straws were just for “garnish”.  They didn’t seem to care.

Although the recipe only makes 4 you can double it for more.  Although these are good size desserts and should probably be shared with your favorite Valentine!

So many decorating options for these cute mug cakes such as chocolate chips, raspberries, straws, or even sprinkles.  You could also make a cute little sign out of paper, attach it to a straw or a popsicle/candy stick and stick it in the cake.

Notes

SNAPPY TIPS: The cooking time may vary depending on the size and width of your mug so watch them closely.

SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: If you don’t like raspberry extract, you can substitute another flavor such as strawberry, vanilla, etc. You may have to vary the amount though depending on the flavor so start with 1 teaspoon and add a little more at a time. You can add any kind of chocolate chips or even nuts instead of the mini chocolate chips.
