This Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake takes just five minutes - and it's so good!

The folks at Manini’s Gluten Free, makers of my favorite fresh GF pasta, sent me some samples of their gluten-free flour blend and asked me to get creative – so I created a microwavable Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake that serves one – me! This chocolatey mug cake is the perfect indulgent after dinner treat. The individual serving size makes it super speedy - you can literally have it in hand in a snap. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a glass of wine, head to the kitchen and whip together this Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake. I can't wait to hear what you think.

One last thing - you could skip the chocolate chips....but I wouldn’t.
