This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at App State chapter.

Hot cocoa isn’t the only yummy chocolate treat you can make in a cup. Whip up a perfectly sized portion of delicious molten chocolate lave cake in a mug, and you’ll warm up even the most dreary winter day. These little cakes may taste decadently rich, but they won’t break the bank. With just a few dorm room staples (and your favorite ceramic mug) you can have an amazing homemade chocolate cake in minutes.
