I made this gluten-free 5 Minute Amarula Mug Cake in celebration of @amarula_official hosting a global live Instagram event with different foodies across the world during lockdown.
During the Instagram Live, Amarula visited South Africa, Germany, UK, Brazil, Canada & the US, with foodies from each country showing the making of an Amarula drink or dessert.
I decided to make these decadent and easy chocolate mug cake, which is gluten-free and soaked in Amarula sauce.
Here is my recipe for a 5 Minute Amarula Mug Cake which can be made with our without Amarula (because lockdown vibes 😅)
Enjoy making it!
