PB and Chocolate Microwave Cake & The Secret Recipe Club

It's that time of the month again - Secret Recipe Club time!! Let me tell you, this one was a tough one for me... Not because of the blog that I got, http://bizzybakesb.blogspot.com/, cause I found a bunch of recipes that I wanted to try from here. No... it's the summer and all things obviously go crazy around here during the summer! :) SRC went a little wackadoo for a bit, so we got our assignments a little later then usual... Not a biggie, if it weren't for the fact that we were leaving for vacation in the middle of June and on top of that, my oven gave out!! The part is back ordered so I am still ovenless which is KILLING me - especially when I was all set to try these fabulous looking Cheese Hashbrown Muffins and this yummy looking Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake!

Lucky for me I had picked out numerous recipes to try and the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mini Cake required only a microwave!! YAY for me! :) I have made microwave cakes in the past and enjoyed them quite a bit so I was excited to see how this one would turn out. I was not disappointed... They were super yummy and wonderful to have warm out of the microwave! Thanks for the fun recipe, my kids and I loved it! Sorry for the horrid picture = obviously my camera and I need to have a talk also...


Peanut Butter and Chocolate Microwave Cake
(recipe found at http://bizzybakesb.blogspot.com/)

1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 heaping tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon chocolate chips

In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients except chocolate chips. Add chips and stir well. Pour into greased ramekin, cup or mug. Microwave for 45-60 seconds or until done. Be sure to get a container that will be big enough or you might end up with this...


and while the kids still loved biting it off the container - it might not be the presentation that you are looking for! :)

Tip onto plate and enjoy! (Or just eat it right out of the cup like we did! :)

  3. Just made this immediately after reading this post. I added some dark cocoa powder to mine, and "frosted" it with Nutella. It was good!

  4. Oh my. I completely forgot, I made this. I must make it again. I am glad that it saved the day for you.

    I have been using my microwave because of the heat and made a different microwave cake. I am glad you reminded me.

    Thanks for baking from my blog. I must visit here, more often.

  8. I love making these litle cakes. Just right when you want a little something sweet. We call them World's Most Dangerous Cake because it can be made in a just a few minutes. But adding PB - genius!!
