This chocolate mug cake recipe features a warm, gooey dollop of peanut butter in the center of the cake and a sprinkling of sweet melty milk chocolate chips on top.

Making mug cakes in the microwave is actually kind of fun, easy, and of course, you get the pleasure of devouring that delicious little mug cake after just a few minutes of prep and cook time!

This mug cake recipe is adapted just a little from a chocolate peanut butter mug cake recipe that I found The Novice Chef blog a very long time ago.

The great thing about mug cake recipes is how many ways you can vary the recipe to suit your preferences. Don’t like peanut butter? Skip that part. Want to cut down on the sugar? Add a little less—it will still taste great.

Want to put this double chocolate peanut butter mug cake completely and totally over the top? Add a glob of vanilla ice cream to the top when it comes out of the microwave. I’m getting hungry just thinking about that.
