Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil (vegetable oil)
- 2 Tbsp milk
Additional
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In your mug, thoroughly stir together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps for a smooth batter.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the vegetable oil and milk into the dry mixture until the batter is smooth and consistent. Make sure everything is well incorporated.
- Add Peanut Butter Center: Drop a tablespoon of peanut butter into the center of the batter in the mug. Gently push it down slightly into the mixture, creating a gooey center after cooking.
- Microwave and Serve: Microwave the mug on high power for 1 minute. Carefully remove (mug will be hot) and enjoy your warm, single-serving chocolate cake instantly.
Notes
- Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage; adjust cooking time by 10-15 seconds if needed.
- Use a microwave-safe mug to prevent cracking or damage.
- You can substitute peanut butter with other nut butters or chocolate chips for variation.
- Let the cake cool slightly before eating, as it will be very hot directly from the microwave.
- The recipe yields one serving but can be easily doubled by making two separate mugs.
