Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
Gently stir in the peanut butter, creating a slight swirl in the batter. Do not overmix to retain some peanut butter pockets.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60-90 seconds. Start by microwaving for 60 seconds, checking if the cake is set in the center. If not, microwave in 10-15 second increments until done.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Enjoy the cake straight from the mug or transfer it to a plate for a more elegant presentation.
