One of the most requested recipes lately was this wonderful Mug Cake, which goes in the microwave for only 1 minute.

No eggs, no lactose, and vegan!

It’s perfect for those cold winter days when you just want to become one with your couch, cocooned into a blanket, watching Netflix all day!

This Mug Cake is easy peasy and super fast: the real express cake!

Mix all the ingredients together and place them in the microwave.

I like to first mix the ingredients in a bowl and only then put the mixture in the mug. But this step is completely unnecessary! You can do everything directly in the mug.

Double, triple, quadruple, and so on, the recipe, depending on the number of people. It’s a perfect recipe to share with the family, but attention: each one with his or her own mug. eheh

How do you make this Mug Cake?

Honestly, there is no trick to it at all. This cake is one of the simplest recipes to make.

It requires no complicated techniques and no hard-to-find utensils.

It’s just mixing all the ingredients and microwaving the mix for 1 min.

For this recipe you’ll need:

Brown sugar
Oat flour
Cocoa powder
Water
Olive oil
Peanut Butter
1 chocolate square (optional)

What tricks will ensure that this Mug Cake tastes just right?

Use oat flour or grind the oat flakes, the result is the same.
Make sure your cocoa doesn’t have added sugar. If you use cocoa that contains sugar, then control the amount of brown sugar.
Use good quality peanut butter, with only peanuts. Generally, the ones that come in glass jars have a creamier consistency and are easier to remove from the jar.
You can add a chocolate square on top, and it will melt a bit and be delicious! I advise you to use 70% cocoa chocolate.

The peanut butter gives a creamy and tasty touch, but you can replace it, for example, with homemade raspberry jam, shredded coconut, or apple pieces.
