Author note: A large mug is required for this recipe. It should hold at least 11-ounces of liquid. If it does not, the batter will overflow while cooking. Sprinkles are a fun finishing touch.
Ingredients

4 tbsp hot water
2 tsp instant espresso powder
2 tsp vegetable oil
6 tablespoons boxed chocolate cake mix
caramel sauce
sprinkles to top, optional
