Yes, it might not be a mug cake, but you have chocolate lava cake.

However, if you have the leftover mug cake more than 12 hours, you better throw it in the dustbin.
What goes well with the cake? There are vanilla ice creams, fresh berries, or puddings. Since the cake is very thick of chocolate flavor, don’t take the similar flavored drinks.
