Peanut butter cake in a mug - food

Who doesn't love cake, especially if it comes in a mug and takes less than 5 minutes to make!

Now I love cake my only problem is I can't make it! I'm really not a very good baker, until I discovered this!

Now I live on Pinterest it's like my second home, and one day I discovered the wonder that is cake in a mug, and it looked pretty simple so I give it a go.

However I didn't want just a plain cake so I decided to add one of my favourite things, PEANUT BUTTER I mean I love this stuff I'm obsessed, so why not incorporate it into my cake!

Now okay this may not look like the nicest cake, but it tasted amazing (if I do say so my self) as I said before I'm not the best baker, so I wasn't expecting much and looks wise it really doesn't appeal but I'm sure with practice I will be able to make it look nicer. But it was eatable so I didn't mind that it didn't look to great!

This cake is really easy to make - if I can do it anyone can do it.

Ingredients -

~  3/2 tbsp flour

~ 4 tsp sugar

~ 4 tbsp milk

~ 2 tsp baking powder

~ peanut butter ( your desired amount) 

Directions -

Add all ingredients except the peanut butter into a microwave friendly mug. Mix ingredients until your cake mixture is smooth. Add peanut butter (I used 1/2 tbsp, you can add your desired amount, depending on how strong you would like the taste to be). Mix in the peanut butter. 

Place your mug in the microwave and cook for approximately  1 minute 30. 

If cake is not done with in this time, reheat for 30 seconds, ( you can keep doing this until your cake is done, keep an eye on your cake, do not leave unattended).

Leave cake cool for a few minutes before eating, the cake tastes it's best while still warm.

I also decided to add two reese's peanut butter cups to mine, this is completely up to you, but I found the melted chocolate topped of the cake perfectly.

See how easy is that! Hopfully yours will look better that mine did, but as long as it tastes good who cares! 

Of course my recipe is only guidelines, this is just what happened to work for me, but experiment with it and see what suits you best!

Until next time, see you later alligator,
