- Drop a dollop of peanut butter into the batter and do not stir it. After baking, the nut butter will transform into a creamy melty texture that goes wonderfully well with cake.1 Tablespoon Smooth Peanut Butter
- Microwave for 1:30 minutes on full power. Carefully using a mitten take the mug out and check for doneness. If a tooth pick comes out mostly clean, it's done. If you see wet batter on tooth pick, cook it for another 30 seconds.

Notes
Storing this Mug Cake:
Mug cakes tend to change texture and dry out pretty easily. So I don't recommend storing them for long. You can still store leftovers for a few hours covering the mug with a cling wrap.
Warm the cake for a few seconds before enjoying!
A note on Cocoa powder:
Both natural and dutch processed Cocoa powders can be used here. Take care not to use more than a teaspoon. Level it off with the back of a spoon or fork before adding to the batter.
