One Minute Peanut Butter Cake

Picture this scene: it’s 8:30 in the evening. The sky is just starting to get dark outside your living room window. You ate a delicious, healthy and veggie-filled dinner a few hours ago and now you are ready to sit down to the most recent episode of So You Think You Can Dance and dive into a decadent plate of dessert.

Oh wait, you have no dessert.

No chocolate, no cookies, no ice cream, no cake, no pie, not even a Jordan almond. What’s a girl to do?

Well she’s to go to her microwave.

You can make a delicious, fluffy, moist peanut butter cake in your microwave in about one minute (30 seconds mixing, 30 seconds zapping). It even has frosting (as any good cake does). This is portion control and convenience at their greatest.

The options are also pretty endless. Toss in a tablespoon of chocolate chips for a chocolatey and gooey kick (like I did) or a few peanuts for an earthy crunch. Or leave it plain for the quickest and easiest route to dessert o’clock.

  1. Wonder if I could finagle a low carb version using coconut flour and xylitol instead of flour and sugar…

    The amounts are small enough that it’s at least worth trying out. I think if I cut the amount of flour in half (coconut soaks up a LOT of moisture) and used equal amount of xylitol to sugar with a drop or so of stevia extract I could make it work…

  2. I also got an amazing little volcano! ps if you mix a tiny bit of vanilla and cocoa powder with the icing it becomes dangerously tasty =]

  3. okay so I just tried this and my ramekin was too small so I got a mini volcano… a mini but very tasty volcano ๐Ÿ˜›

  4. Wow! This is absolutly extraordinary! Just as I was surfing the web simioltaneously craving something peanut-buttery, this popped up. I mixed chocolate chips, chopped nut ice cream toppings and raisins, it tasted like a yummy trail mix!
    THANKS

  5. This is a great idea will give it a try tomorrow for my husband he love’s peanuts and this will be an interesting new way to eat.

  6. yummy! i put nutella on the bottom of the cup so that when i inverted it it had melted nutella on the top ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Oooh, I just stumbled upon this and had to drop everything to make it. Wonderful! I added chocolate chips and only used 1/4 tsp. milk in the glaze to get it a little thicker. I love this idea! Thanks so much for sharing it.

  8. so i was on http://www.stumbleupon.com when i stumbled upon this and decided since i have all the ingredients that i’d try it. i added milk when i wasnt supposed to and used a bigger bowl so mine came out chunky. it tasted good and weird at the same time. probably because of the milk being added. other wise it tasted good and im gonna try it again when i get more eggs =] good recipie and very simple

    1. Definitely wait on the milk next time and make sure you whisk it really well before microwaving. Glad you still liked it though!
