Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake
Makes 1 mug cake3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons of milk
1-1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
In a large mug whisk together (with a small whisk or large fork) the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, vetetable oil and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth.
Cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. This recipe will rise a lot and then deflate.
Serve immediately.
You can add a scoop of ice-cream to serve or pour on a little English Custard. When I made it originally I decorated it with sliced banana and a few chocolate chips on the top. Another time and before putting it in the microwave I mixed in a tablespoon of chopped walnuts. It is delicious on its own also.
Not for me, but I am sure my partner would love it.
ReplyDeleteNot for my hubby either. He doesn’t like chocolate.
DeleteHello, it does look yummy. Chocolate and peanut butter are great together. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, and the same to you too :)
DeleteMy hubby would love it if I made this desert, Denise! He's a chocoholic! Paired with peanut butter sounds great to me. ♥
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad to know that your husband will like this recipe Martha Ellen. I'd love to hear what you think of it if it is made.
Deletedid not read and did a fast scroll, I don't eat sugar or chocolate now so had to get on past it
ReplyDeleteSorry Sandra ;)
DeleteNot for either of us we both hate peanut butter!! Have a good week, Diane
ReplyDeleteI know, not to everyone's taste :)
DeleteI lOVE mug recipes!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too Ginny, whenever that sweet tooth fairy visits :)
Deleteoh my!
ReplyDeleteOh my indeed Cloudia :) Exactly what I say when I try this.
DeleteI'd enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteGreat :)
DeleteI am going to try this. Many thanks! We live "out in the country" and this might work (maybe too much?) When we are "in town" we sometimes buy just a slice of something sweet to bring home. That way we don't have an entire cake or pie.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline, this is very satisfying for when I get a sweet tooth and don’t want to over indulge :) we do the same thing as there is a dessert we like to buy. It has two small puff pastries in one package, one plain (for hubby), and one with a chocolate coating on the top (for me), both with a delicious cream inside. It is just enough and not too much.
DeleteLove these mug cakes, so quick!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly quick!
Deleteoh you have flour twice in the recipe
ReplyDeleteUps! Thanks Christine, I will change that. Was in a bit of a rush when I typed this one.
Deletei tried something similar and it wasn't great. i will write this one up and save it. it does look yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is to you your taste Debbie, and if you get one you like I hope you'll share it. I love mug cakes :)
DeleteI love this! We MIGHT get the grandkids back this month. I shall do this for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think Jenn and enjoy your family. I have been enjoying your photos of their travels.
DeleteOk Denise, so just when we were planning to go desert free when we finally return home to NH, Inread this easy and delicious looking post. Too bad Gregg doesn’t like chocolate, we like both chocolate & peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteHi Dorothy, this is such a small dessert and just right for two people. I usually leave half to have the next day. Gregg likes licorice and I can't stand the stuff ;) but chocolate and peanut butter? Oh yum!
DeleteMug cakes, mug breads are very popular :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan! I haven't tried a mug bread yet. I saw my first recipe about a week ago and thought I have to try that.
