This rich and chocolatey treat is perfectly portioned, ready in less than two minutes, and requires only three simple ingredients. The end result is shockingly rich and indulgent and will most definitely hit your sweet spot. I love to enjoy it warm with a squirt of whipped cream and pinch of cocoa powder.

You can also customize this treat to make your own delish variation. Love mocha? Add a dash of instant coffee or espresso powder to the batter. Bananas for banana or berries? Stir in some chopped fruit. Crazy for chocolate peanut butter? Mix in a teaspoon of your favorite nut butter and be ready to drool. Thanks to this lightened up creation you really can have your cake and eat it, too. You’re welcome!
