I had this at friend's house and had to have the recipe! He didn't know where he got it but he knows the date - it was on the receipt he wrote the recipe on. Great when you want just one serving of dessert.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your mug cake. Look for chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Don't overcook the cake. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the cake cool for a minute before eating it. This will help to prevent the caramel from burning your mouth.
Top the cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and chocolate chips.

Chocolate caramel mug cake is a quick and easy dessert that is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. It is rich, decadent, and has the perfect balance of chocolate and caramel.
