Not the best picture I know but I was in a hurry this morning. I first had this recipe a few months back at a MOMS Club activity. I kept meaning to make it but never did. This morning I had a MOMS Club activity to go to and needed something fast and yummy and this recipe fits that bill perfectly.

• 1 Coffee Mug

• 4 tablespoons flour(that’s plain flour, not self-rising)

• 4 tablespoons sugar

• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa

• 1 egg

• 3 tablespoons milk

• 3 tablespoons oil

• 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

• Small splash of vanilla

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well . Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake
will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)

WARNING!! Be VERY careful to not over cook this cake. The first time I tried it I cooked it for the full 3 minutes and it was way to long. The next time I tried it I took 15 seconds off and it was better but still a bit long. I would try 2 minutes and twenty seconds. Of course it depends on your microwave but just something to remember. I think its a bit of a heavy cake but again it could be because I am over cooking it. Its a great kid dessert as well.

Yes it tastes as good as it looks. This recipe is adapted from Betty Crocker’s 2009 calender. Its actually a brownie recipe but I did not have a box of brownies sitting around and was too lazy to make some so I decided to try it with cake.

Ingredients:

1 chocolate cake mix I like Pillsbury but you can use whatever you want.

Bake cake according to package directions and let cool for at least 1 hour.

Filling:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups powered sugar
• 2 teaspoons milk

Topping:

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup butter

1. In medium bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over cake base.
2. In small microwave bowl, microwave topping ingredients uncovered on High 30-60 seconds; stir until smooth. Cool 10 minutes; spread over filling. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set. Store covered in refrigerator.



Yum!
