For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. If you don't have canola oil, vegetable oil or melted butter can be substituted. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preference for heat. A little goes a long way! Watch the mug cake carefully while it's microwaving to prevent it from overflowing. Serve immediately for the best molten caramel experience. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would be a decadent addition!

Mar 19, 2025My caramel melted a lot, but it was still delicious! Next time I might try freezing the caramel for a few minutes before adding it to the mug.
