Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug
- Spoon or small whisk
- Measuring spoons
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peanut butter made from roasted peanuts
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder made from cocoa beans
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar cane sugar + cornstarch
- 1 tbsp whole milk powder
- 1 tbsp peanut flour
- 1 tbsp cane sugar
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp cocoa butter melted
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, mix together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, whole milk powder, peanut flour, cane sugar, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly blended.
- Add the peanut butter and melted cocoa butter to the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until you get a smooth, thick batter. You can microwave the cocoa butter slightly beforehand to melt it if needed.
- Stir everything well to incorporate all the ingredients into a consistent batter. It should be thick but smooth.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 60 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so check at 45 seconds and then adjust as needed. The cake should rise and be firm to the touch but moist inside.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before eating it will be hot! Enjoy directly from the mug.
Notes
❖ Microwave Wattage: The cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. If your cake isn’t fully set after 1 minute, you can microwave it in 10-15 second intervals, checking each time. Make sure not to overcook it, as it can become dry.
❖ Mug Size Matters: Be sure to use a mug that’s large enough (12-16 oz) to avoid overflowing. The cake will rise while cooking, and if the mug is too small, it may spill over.
❖ Allow It to Cool Slightly: The cake will be very hot right after microwaving, so give it a minute to cool down before digging in. It also allows the flavors to settle and improves the texture!
