chocolate pudding mug cake

Now that September is due to arrive in four days, I have finally come to terms with the end of summer. Maybe it is because school started this week and something about the early mornings and new clothes and heart-wrenching terror when a teacher calls on me in class just gets my mind into autumn gear. As I said in one of my earlier posts, fall is actually my favorite season of the year and I am starting to get pretty worked up with the anticipation.

Mmmmm those mornings. The ones where your eyes open to the sunlight streaming through the windows instead of that awful default alarm on your phone. Where you sigh into your pillow, turn on the other side, smile and close your eyes again just because you can. Those mornings when you get out of bed with a nest on your head and pillow-wrinkles indented into your face and it doesn't matter because you have nowhere to go. 

This recipe is for those mornings.

August. The beginning of the end. The sun starts to set a little earlier, the first shades of brown set in on the trees and the local Target is flooded with parents carrying pencils and binders. Autumn is my favorite season of the year with its crisp air and warm fluffy sweaters, but couldn't it just wait a little?

Enter strawberry mushi-pan.
