Microwave on high for 1-1.5 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray.

Allow to cool until the chocolate hardens.

Enjoy your quick chocolate treats!

Serving Suggestions

Serve your chocolate mug cake warm, straight from the microwave, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The heat from the cake will slightly melt the ice cream, creating a delightful dessert experience. For an extra touch, sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top for added visual appeal.

For the chocolate dipped strawberries, consider arranging them on a decorative platter and drizzling some melted white chocolate over the top for a stunning presentation. They make for a beautiful centerpiece at gatherings and are sure to impress your guests with their elegance and taste.

Storage Tips

If you happen to have leftovers from your chocolate mug cake, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it can be reheated in the microwave for a quick treat later on. Just be sure to warm it in short bursts to prevent it from drying out.

Chocolate dipped strawberries are best consumed the same day they are made. However, if you have extras, store them in the refrigerator in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray to prevent them from sticking together. Enjoy them chilled for a refreshing sweet snack!
