Preparation

Step 1

Lightly grease 2 (14 to 16-ounce) mugs with vegetable oil using paper towel.

In medium bowl, place cake mix. With whisk, beat in egg, 2 tablespoons milk and 1 tablespoon oil. In small cup, dissolve 1 tablespoon gelatin in hot water. Beat into cake batter. Divide batter evenly between mugs, about 1/2 cup in each mug.

Microwave mugs on High 30 seconds. Let stand 5 seconds. Microwave on High 30 seconds longer. Let stand 5 seconds. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Using bamboo skewer or sharp knife, gently poke several holes in each mug cake.

To make Strawberry Cream Syrup, in small microwavable bowl, beat both milks with whisk to blend. Microwave on High 30 seconds or until hot. Beat in 1 tablespoon gelatin. Pour half of the cream syrup over each cake. Let cake stand 2 minutes or until cream syrup is absorbed.

Top each cake with 1/4 cup whipped topping; drizzle each with 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup. Garnish each cake with 1 strawberry and 2 chocolate sticks. Serve immediately. Store in refrigerator.
