There really are no two ways about it. This cake is completely sinful – but absolutely amazing. I myself am not the biggest dessert eater. When I do have dessert it really has to be chocolate (or caramel). In all honesty, when I do eat dessert, it’s usually ice cream.  This Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondant Mug Cake is right up my alley – and is beautiful with ice cream. (Just try not to think about the extra calories). 

I may be a little late on the mug cake bandwagon, but trust me, I’ve made up for that the last couple of weeks. Of course to find the best cake for this recipe I had to test a lot of different methods and mixes to land on this one. It’s been a tough job! This cake is definitely not the healthiest I tried, but it definitely packs the best flavour and texture. Just maybe only eat it as an occasional treat. 

The peanut butter in this recipe is divine! It melts to a sticky sauce in the middle (hence the fondant). Be warned though – the butter gets really hot and I did burn my mouth on one of my test runs. 

Do you have any successful mug cake recipes? I’d love to hear them if so!

A sinfully indulgent dessert – this chocolate peanut butter fondant mug cake has a rich chocolate sponge with beautifully melted peanut butter waiting in the middle. A delicious treat!

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp plain flour

• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 5 tsp milk

• 5 tsp vegetable oil

• 1 tbsp peanut butter

Directions

• Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mug and combine.
• Add the milk and mix together to form a paste, Stir in the vegetable oil and combine everything together really well. Make sure you don’t have any flour stuck to the sides of the mug.
• Take the tbsp of peanut butter and push it into the middle of the batter so it’s sat as a lump under the surface.
• Microwave on full for 90 seconds. This may vary depending on your microwave – when it’s done it should be firm, but springy, to the touch.

Notes

• Calorie count doesn’t include ice cream
