CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
If you Google "mug cake," you'll get more than 100 million results for the one-serving cake that's baked in a mug in the microwave. Yet finding the right recipe - not too dense, not too sweet - is harder than one might hope. This version, adapted from "Baking Class: 50 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love to Bake!" by Deanna F. Cook, is great, and requires just a few pantry staples. For a molten chocolate mug cake, sprinkle the top with some mini chocolate chips before popping it into the microwave, then remove it a few seconds early. This cute little cake may have been developed for children, but everyone loves it.

Steps:
- Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mug in 10-second increments until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Crack the egg into a small bowl; add the vanilla and whisk to combine using a small whisk or fork. Pour the egg mixture into the mug over the butter and whisk to combine.
- Add the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and whisk until mostly smooth (a few lumps are O.K.). Scrape down the sides the best you can with a spoon or a small silicone spatula. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
- Cook in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Sift a little confectioners' sugar on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Dig in with a spoon.

CAKE MIX CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CAKE
I googled this for the cake, using chocolate fudge cake mix (b/c that's what I had on hand). It's from "Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor" written by Anne Byrn. It's moist, and is probably better than the regular cake mix cake since you add pumpkin rather than oil or butter. I didn't add any cinnamon chips or pecans or make any frosting but I'm sure that would be even better.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly mist a 13- by 9-inch pan with vegetable oil spray. Set the pan aside.
- Place the cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter will be thick and should look well combined. Fold in the cinnamon chips until well distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, moothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place the pan in the oven.
- Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Cinnamon-Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.
- Spread the frosting over the cake in the pan with smooth, clean strokes. Sprinkle the pecans over the top.
- To make slicing easier, store this cake, lightly covered with waxed paper, in the refrigerator until the frosting sets, 1 hour. Then wrap it in aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Or freeze it, wrapped in foil, for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
- Cinnamon-Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.
- (Makes 3 1/2 cups, enough to frost a 2- or 3-layer cake.).
- Place the cream cheese and the butter in a large mixing bowl.
- Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until well combined, 30 seconds.
- Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and 3 3/4 cups of the confectioners' sugar. Blend with the mixer on low speed until the ingredients are moistened, 30 seconds.
- Add more sugar if the frosting seems too thin.
- Increase the speed to medium and beat until the frosting is fluffy, 2 minutes more.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree provides the best flavor and texture to your cake. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure to drain off any excess water before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting: These frostings pair well with the chocolate and pumpkin flavors in the cake.
