Yesterday marked the Solar Eclipse and the official arrival of spring too.

Wohoo! It’s officially spring now!

I am so ready & thrilled for this awesome season. Are you? I bet everyone is ready to Rock and roll.

If I talk about weather now, it was really beautiful, sunny, and unusually warm last week at this time of the year. Most of the days were dazzling & bright.

But now, according to the forecast, weather will not be spring like for at least a week. But I am very sure that sunny days will be ready to pop in soon. And then we all can say; sunny days are here again! 😀

Around here, I could clearly see that everyone is super duper excited to welcome spring.

Nurseries and florists are full of yellow plants and flowers.

You can certainly see all those bright flowers almost everywhere up from top, where I live.

In two weeks there will be Easter, and after that there will be summer. I can already feel the warmth of summer, and gleaming days. Aaahhhh, I am prospectively in the thoughts of summer. And I am LOVING what I see and feel here.

Lets talk about this welcoming spring delight which I am going to share with you today.

I made Chocolate Molten Lava Mug Cake to celebrate the arrival of spring. I have told you all a zillion times that I am so in love with chocolates. All types of chocolates are welcome at my home.

I think that now is the perfect time to share my favorite chocolate mug cake. I promised to you all in my earlier February post that I would not share any chocolate recipes for while. Yeah! I stuck to my promise, and I did not share any chocolate recipes after Valentine’s day!

So, now seems like the best time for it.

This molten lava mug cake is possibly one of my favorites. It is so simple, quick, and easy to prepare and finish! 😉

Full of chocolate goodness—this is an angelic treat for all chocolate lovers. This will give you all the comfort and sweetness you need.

Flavour it with your favourite topping and SLURP!! I have used whipped cream and rainbow nonpareils sprinkles. But you can use any of your favorite toppings. I believe toppings make everything more beautiful and inviting. For me everything is better with the toppings!

The take home message is that this is extremely chocolatey, addictive, and it will kill all your chocolate cravings really quick. 🙂

Add in a few pieces of chocolate. Microwave it for 1 minutes 30 seconds and check.

If it is not done cook for 30 seconds more.

It should slightly sticky in the centre. Do not overcook, because you want molten chocolate center. Mine took 2 minutes.

Take out the mug, and let it rest for few minutes before you attack!
