More often than not when I am planning dinner with friends, I focus of the main course and forget to prepare dessert. So I am scrambling at the last minute to find something yummy that will please everyone! Whether you need a quick and easy dessert for your next dinner party or you are cooking for one, this chocolate cake recipe will be your go-to. Not only does this recipe use ingredients you probably have on hand, but it cools in just five minutes– in the microwave!
I choose to top these cupcakes with paleo granola and honey, but fresh fruit or whipped coconut cream are some other great options! How would you serve your chocolate cupcakes?
