Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk

  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix dry ingredients together in a large mug.
  2. Add wet ingredients in the order listed: milk, oil, peanut butter, egg, vanilla. Mix until just moistened. Do not over mix.
  3. Sprinkle chocolate chips and give one good stir. I used a small palm-ful of chips.
  4. Cook in microwave for 1 minute on high. Depending on the wattage of your microwave it my take a bit longer to cook. I used a 1200 watt microwave and my cake was done after 1 minute. If your cake is not done after 1 minute, continue to cook in 30 second intervals until cooked through.
  5. This might not be a typical cake consistency for you as it is spongy more than moist. Believe me though, this is oh so delicious and definitely worth a try. Enjoy!
