Mug cake (Chocolate and peanut butter) step by step
- Place the butter and chocolate in a 350ml mug and microwave for 10-20 seconds until melted.
- Add the egg and milk to the mug and beat with a form until throughly combined.
- Add the sugar, flour and salt and beat again until smooth, then float a tablespoon of peanut butter on top of the cake mixture but don't stir - this will sink down as the cake cooks to create a lovely gooey peanut butter centre..
- Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes 20 seconds @600W, 2 minutes @800W or 1 minute 40 seconds @1000W.
- While the cake is still warm, top with the remaining peanut butter. Wait for it to melt slightly and then scatter with peanuts, curl up on the sofa and enjoy!.
I used chocolate chunks rather than standard chocolate chips since the chunks are bigger. I'm so happy Nestle came out with chocolate chunks so I don't have to buy them at specialty baking. I really prefer my banana chocolate peanut butter mug cake with no eggs in it. I love topping mine with extra peanut butter or even chocolate chips because in our case, toppings are everything right? Since we are only talking a small dessert and not an entire cake, don't feel guilty about adding some.
