Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 & 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 & 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Vanilla frosting
  • Crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Combine butter and peanut butter: Start by melting the butter directly in the mug. Once melted, add the peanut butter and stir until both are well combined, creating a smooth base.
  2. Add egg yolk and wet ingredients: Incorporate the egg yolk, brown sugar, pinch of salt, milk, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Add the flour and baking powder to the mug mixture. Stir again until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps.
  4. Microwave cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60 seconds. The cake will rise and set during this time.
  5. Optional topping and serving: Once cooked, optionally top your mug cake with vanilla frosting and crushed peanuts for added flavor and texture. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure to use only the egg yolk for best texture; the white can make the cake tough.
  • If you prefer, substitute brown sugar with white sugar or a sugar substitute.
  • Microwave ovens vary in power; adjust cooking time slightly if needed to avoid overcooking.
  • This recipe serves one and is perfect for a quick, single-serving dessert.
  • Allow the cake to cool for a minute before eating to avoid burns.
