Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake for one

My husband has really been enjoying the 3-2-1 cake because he can make it himself when he gets the munchies.  Here’s another quickie cake that’s made in the microwave.

Two Minute Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

1 egg
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp cocoa
1/4 tsp baking powder
a small handful of chocolate chips

In a small bowl, stir the egg, brown sugar, peanut butter, flour, cocoa and baking powder with a fork. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a greased ramekin or mug. Microwave for 1 minute. Eat straight from the ramekin or mug, or invert onto a plate. Serves 1.

Since most cake recipes usually call for only 2 eggs, I’m a little surprised at the proportion of egg to dry ingredients, and also no shortening—unless the peanut butter fat takes care of that. See, I haven’t tried this yet—hoping you do and let me know.
