Gluten Free Chocolate Mug Cake

I have seen mug cakes all over magazines, tv, and the internet. Many of them are made in the microwave, but some of them are made in the oven. All of them are basically a version of a chocolate pudding cake.

We love my gluten free chocolate pudding cake, so I was sure we would like a gluten free version of a mug cake. I have wanted to make a gluten free version for awhile now, and I finally tried it last week.

I cannot believe I waited so long to try this. My kids loved this and thought it was so much fun to have their own cup of dessert to eat. My husband and I also loved this.

This is one of those desserts that you could easily serve to anyone and they would have no idea it was gluten free. This was rich and chocolaty and oh so good. This would make a perfect gluten free dessert to serve on Valentine’s Day.
