My review
Mexican Chocolate/Salted Caramel Cake in a Mug
Deep Creek Diva
"I had this at friend's house and had to have the recipe! He didn't know where he got it but he knows the date - it was on the receipt he wrote the recipe on. Great when you want just one serving of dessert."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- I mix up single servings and store in an airtight container for a quick snack. You can add wheat germ or flax seed to make it healthier (and you feel better about it). Also, try it with carob powder if you want.

I would give this 3.5 if there was a half-star rating, so I'll give it 4 because it IS better than 3. I liked the flavors of this, but it was rather dense and the caramels stuck to the fork and...

Made this exactly as written. Best cake in a mug I have had! The cayenne is very subtle, but adds a hint of spice. Delicious!

I made this with ghiardelli dark chocolate melting wafers instead of chocolate chips and two chocolate covered salted carmels. It was fabulous!
