After introducing our refreshing garden spearmint collection last week, I thought I would be back today and show you how I use spearmint essential oil, not only in our sheep milk soaps and body care products, but also in baked goods. This decadent gluten-free spearmint chocolate mug cake is a favorite of mine and one that you can whip up from start to finish in minutes. We have a huge patch of spearmint on our land and I can’t wait to potter in the garden and harvest some mint every morning but in the meantime, I will enjoy this spearmint chocolate mug cake and I hope you will too:)
