Just make sure the cup is microwave safe!
Ingredients
Chocolate cake (makes 2 cups)
80 g butter, melted
2 eggs
3 tbsp. strong espresso
1 tbsp. maple or simple syrup
150 ml brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla sugar
1 little pinch of salt
100 ml flour

Approach
Chocolate cake
Stir all the ingredients into an even batter together in a bowl. Add the chocolate. Divide the batter between 2 microwave safe cups. Bake one cake at a time in a cup in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes. The cake needs to be soft so don’t let it cook too much. Decorate the cakes with the extra chocolate pieces, ice cream and raspberries. Enjoy!
