When I made this mug cake for my son, he proclaimed, “This is the best cake you have ever made!”—and he doesn’t even like peanut butter! That endorsement pretty much says it all when it comes to this incredibly easy, single-serving cake. Make one for your kids (or yourself) the next time they beg for a sweet treat. I bet they’ll agree
Place all ingredients into a large microwave-safe mug and mix vigorously with a spoon to form a smooth batter. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check the cake after 1 minute and adjust the overall cooking time according to your microwave oven. Don’t overbake. Let cool until warm and serve.

VARIATION: It’s easy to vary this one-mug wonder. For peanut butter and chocolate chip cake, add 2 tablespoons (22 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped homemade sugar-free chocolate to the batter and mix well. For a peanut-butter-and-jelly cake, drop 1 tablespoon (15 g) Easy Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam into the batter before baking. Use a fork to create a swirl in the batter, then bake.
