Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe tall mug, whisk egg and fresh, drippy peanut butter.
  • Whisk in cocoa powder until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  • Microwave at 900W for 90 seconds or until the mug cake rises in the mug and is set and dry on top. If too wet in the center, return to the microwave by 10-second bursts until cooked through.
  • Cool the mug cake down for 1-2 minutes and serve with whipped cream, ice cream or betties, or chocolate chips on top.
  • Don't store mug cakes. Eat them within 20 minutes, or they get dense and chewy.
