Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips Microwave Cake

Pin It

 

Well, today is my birthday! Another year has passed by quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I was writing this post. I'm going to make this Pineapple Cream Cake today with some slight modifications. The cake is in the oven, right now. So, how about this easy and delicious cake recipe, that just takes a few minutes to prepare.

Five Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Five Minute Chocolate Mug Cake ... Microwave Chocolate Cake ... Most Dangerous Chocolate Cake in a Mug!!! A proper chocolate cake made of butter and dark chocolate instead of vegetable oil and cocoa powder which really tastes good. As soon as I saw this recipe, was eager to give it a  try. I divided the batter in two mugs and microwaved one at a time. The result was wonderful, a little bit sweet though. I really loved this Mug Cake idea because my family doesn't like chocolate cakes but now I can easily make a chocolate treat for myself without having to bake a whole cake ... a perfect quick cake for my chocolate cravings :)

Microwave Banana Pudding ... 3 Variations

Quick, easy and so delicious!!! Thanks to BBC Good Food for this lovely recipe. I loved the chocolate chips and raisin version more than the plain one. I think that this would have been better with a sauce though.
