Step 1 of 21

You can literally make this extremely easy cake in under 5 minutes. Prepping takes 3 minutes, and 'baking' takes 2. Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Step 2 of 21

Melt your butter in a little pan.

Step 3 of 21

Like this.

Step 4 of 21

Then remove from heat and add in peanut butter/nutella. I used smooth and it had a little jam it in. My sister likes it that way. :)

Step 5 of 21

Mix together.

Step 6 of 21

Once you get a smooth consistency with everything mixed in, you're done. Set aside.

Step 7 of 21

In your mug, make sure it's microwave safe, add in sugar, egg and vanilla.

Step 8 of 21

Whisk!

Step 9 of 21

Then add in flour.

Step 10 of 21

Along with powders and salt.

Step 11 of 21

Mix! But remember not to overmix!

Step 12 of 21

Then add in your peanut butter mixture into your mug.

Step 13 of 21

Mixxxxx.

Step 14 of 21

Add in chocolate chips. Again, this was for my sister and she prefers white chocolate chips. :) Anything works.

Step 15 of 21

Done.

Step 16 of 21

Place it in your microwave. And no..... I'm not a man. That was my dad's watch. I have no idea why was I wearing that when I was doing this....

Step 17 of 21

Two minutes! Different microwaves have different temperature and what not, so you could start from 1 minute and work from there.

Step 18 of 21

After two minutes.... Be careful! Your mug would be pretty hot!

Step 19 of 21

🎉

Step 20 of 21

I like to serve it with vanilla ice cream and caramel or hot fudge. Didn't have hot fudge today. ):

Step 21 of 21

Give this a try! Have a great day. :) Follow me on instagram! @farahvaz

You're Done

Ethel Monique 7 months ago

Thank you Jeremy :)

Farah Vazeer (author) 7 months ago

I'm afraid not Ethel :/ cause its a choco cake... You could try adding a little chocolate instead, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out. Sorry!

Farah Vazeer (author) 7 months ago

Hi! Is there a substitute for coca powder? We ran out. :)

Ethel Monique 7 months ago

This definitely looks yummy! Will try this ASAP :) good job by the way!

Thx for prompt response :)

Armelle Pouriche-Daniels 7 months ago

Thanks to everyone for your sweet comments!

Farah Vazeer (author) 7 months ago

Armelle you could insert a wooden skewer in the center, and if it comes out clean with no wet batter on it, it's done. :)

Farah Vazeer (author) 7 months ago

Great idea, can't wait to try! Any trick to know if it's fully cooked without digging in? I have a raw egg phobia...

Armelle Pouriche-Daniels 7 months ago

I just tried this and it came out pretty chewy.. I think I may have over cooked it :(

Kathryn Grone 8 months ago

I tried something similar to this I think it was u just put the ingredients in a mug in a specific order and then microwaved it... It was really good though

Fiona Vasey last year

You should post more :)

Adam Russell last year

Oh! I will. Sorry! My cup is like heat proof or something, which was why it wasn't really hot. Glad you enjoyed it tho. :)

Farah Vazeer (author) last year

I made this yesterday and it's amazing! I will try Nutella too, but its the best peanut butter cake I've ever had! I added glace cherries to mine as I didn't have Choc chips and that was great! Although maybe add on that the mug is VERY hot at the end! Nearly burnt my hubby's hand! lol

Beatrice Rooker last year

There's a supplies tab in the center at the bottom of the guide. Pull it up, and they're all there. :)

Farah Vazeer (author) last year

Quantities would be good.

Fiona Vasey last year

Have fun trying it :) @Olivia, that would be fantastic! I'll add that as an option in the guide. Thanks :)
