This is the most amazing dessert I’ve come across. You know why? Because this decadent personal size cake is ready in under 2 minutes from your microwave.
It is moist, full of chocolate, loaded with flavor, and hits the spot, perfectly! The best part? All the ingredients are all found sitting in your pantry and takes just a minute to prepare.
I wish you could have seen my son, Gabe, and I fight over this cake once it came out the microwave. Our mouths were stuffed with this amazing concoction and we didn’t care who was around to witness…

Now you can cure a sweet tooth in 2 minutes, flat!

| This is it for the ingredients…quickly give it a stir and pop in your microwave |
Make sure you use a large coffee mug. It does puff up when in the microwave and will bubble over if your cup is too short.
Eat straight out of your mug or tip cup upside down on a plate for a party for one!
Garnish with a dollop of whipping cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream…
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp chocolate fudge or peanut butter ( I used the fudge and it was amazing!)
1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp cocoa
1/4 tsp baking powder
a small handful of chocolate chips (I use Guitard chocolate, my personal favorite)
1/4 tsp baking powder
a small handful of chocolate chips (I use Guitard chocolate, my personal favorite)
In a small bowl, stir the egg, brown sugar, peanut butter, flour, cocoa and baking powder with a fork. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a greased ramekin or mug. Microwave for 1 minute. Eat straight from the ramekin or mug, or invert onto a plate. Serves 1.

Hi Jenny,
I have pinned this to Pinterest and it's had 33 repins already. It looks amazing! Would you mind telling me what kind of chocolate fudge you used?
Thanks
Claire
Hi Claire,
The recipe called for peanut butter, but I used a hot fudge sauce that was in my fridge made by Hershey (you know the ice cream hot fudge?)It was nice and cold in the fridge, used the 2 tbsp. of that instead of the peanut butter and it is nuts, good! I have yet to try the peanut butter but am sure it is good too! I love that I can get my fix in one minute!!
Let me know how you like it!
I haven't had a chance to run to the store yet, and I needed a chocolate cake fix TODAY, so I just had to use what I had. That turned out to be 2 tablespoons of canned chocolate fudge frosting (as I'm not a big peanut butter fan) and it was pretty good!! A little dry, but I wonder if a sauce (or a teeny tiny amount of oil, similar to the amount in the peanut butter) would fix that problem? I'll get some and try it next time. It definitely hit the spot though. Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Claire…
Isn't it just perfect! Don't over bake in the microwave, it will keep it so moist if you take it out just before it's done. We're talking right under a minute. Try that next time…yummo! I'll be experimenting with more mug cakes…stay tuned!
