Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon jelly
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly using a fork to ensure even distribution.
- Add milk, vegetable oil, and peanut butter to the dry ingredients. Stir carefully until the mixture is smooth and no flour lumps remain.
- Using a spoon, create a small well in the center of the batter and carefully add the jelly, ensuring it partially sinks into the batter but doesn't completely mix.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean with minimal moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for 1-2 minutes, as it will be extremely hot immediately after microwaving.
- Optional: Garnish with additional peanut butter, jelly, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy the warm, gooey peanut butter and jelly mug cake directly from the mug.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Use room temperature milk and ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure no flour lumps remain for the best texture.
- Microwave Carefully: Cooking times can vary, so start with 60 seconds and add more time if needed.
- Jelly Placement is Key: Create a small well for the jelly to prevent complete mixing.
- Don't Overcook: A slightly moist center is perfect – the cake will continue cooking while cooling.
- Customize Your Cake: Experiment with different jellies or add chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
- Serve Immediately: This cake is best enjoyed warm, right out of the mug.
- Cool Slightly: Let it rest for 1-2 minutes to avoid burning your mouth.
