Hug in a Mug Brownie Pudding (single serving)

A single girl molten chocolate pudding cake for when you need a chocolate hug.

I'm going to keep this post short because I know you don't need an anecdote, or bossy directions. 

Good.

You need help.

You need a hug.

You need chocolate.

You need all this things now.

Here it is, a Hug in a Mug:

Better with Warm PB Sauce

Hug in a Mug:
Serves 1

5 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/4 cup of sugar
2 Tbs cocoa powder
1 1/3 Tbs all purpose flour
2 Tbs unsalted butter
2 Tbs heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp sea salt

Because some colorful sprinkles will make you smile

Preheat oven to 325ºF and grease 1 ramekin or oven safe mug.
Beat the egg and 1/4 cup sugar until very thick and pale yellow in color (5-10 minutes)
In a pan, bring 1/4 cup sugar and 2 Tbs water to a boil. Cook, not stirring until dark caramel in color. Remove from the heat and add 2 tbs butter and heavy cream, whisking well to incorporate. Add the vanilla extract and salt and reserve 1-2 tbs caramel.
Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder until there are absolutely no lumps. Slowly add the butter and flour mixture to the eggs, folding together with a rubber spatula, fold in the caramel still in the pan.
Pour into a greased ramekin and bake  for about 20 minutes (the top should be cracked but the inside should be fairly liquid)
Cool for 5-10 minutes before eating, while still very hot, topped with the reserved caramel.
