This single-serve mug cake is moist, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey with a molten peanut butter center. It’s the ultimate quick-fix dessert for late-night cravings — no oven, no mess, just pure indulgence in a cup.

Step by step method
Step 1

Base Batter In a microwave-safe mug, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Add oil, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth (avoid overmixing).

Step 2

Layer & Enrich Fold in dark chocolate chunks for a molten effect. Drop 1 tsp peanut butter into the center (it will create a gooey core).

Step 3

Microwave Baking Microwave on high power (800–1000W) for 1½ to 2 minutes. The cake should rise, set on the surface, but remain slightly moist inside.

Step 4

Garnish & Serve Drizzle with chocolate topping. Lightly dust with cocoa powder & powdered sugar. Enjoy straight from the mug while warm!

Tips & variations
  • Do not overcook; mug cakes dry out quickly. Stop cooking as soon as the top sets.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute part of the milk with brewed coffee.
  • If you enjoy extra gooeyness, underbake by 10–15 seconds.
  • Crunch lovers: sprinkle chopped nuts or cookies on top before microwaving.
