Notes
- *Because all microwaves are different, it's difficult to give a precise cook time. Start with 70 seconds, wait 1 minute while it cools, then look to see if it is set. Add an additional 15-25 seconds if needed. Allow it to rest in the microwave for 1 minute.
- The trick with mug cakes is to stop cooking the cake earlier than you think, because you want it to be soft on the inside, and the cake will also continue to cook as it cools.
- Variations:
- Swap the chips: sub peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, toffee bits, Reese's Pieces, chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups etc.
- Add Nutella: add a spoonful of Nutella before microwaving.
- Chocolate PB mug cake: add 1-2 teaspoons of cocoa powder.
- Gluten free: substitute gluten free flour.
