Dessert For One In About A Minute

Some nights you want something sweet and you don't want a whole pan of it sitting on the counter for three days. A mug, a spoon, a few tablespoons of flour and sugar, and the microwave gets you there before the kettle boils.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these after the kids are in bed, when a kid asks for dessert at 8 p.m., or when there's nothing in the house but pantry staples and a jar of something good.

Every recipe here fits in one mug: Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake, Cookie Butter Mug Cake, Chocolate Lava Mug Cake, Microwave Nutella Mug Cake, Oreo mug cake, plus a Zucchini Bread Mug Cake and a 100 Calorie Mug Cake when you want something lighter.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Use a big mug

    Pick a 12-ounce mug and fill it no more than halfway. The batter climbs fast in the microwave and will spill over a small cup.

  2. 2

    Stop at one minute

    Start with 60 seconds, then add 10 seconds at a time. An overcooked mug cake turns rubbery in a hurry.

  3. 3

    Whisk out the lumps

    Stir the dry ingredients together in the mug first, then add the milk and stir 30 seconds until smooth. Dry flour pockets show up in every bite.

  4. 4

    Sink the filling

    Push a spoonful of Nutella, peanut butter, or cookie butter into the center of the batter before microwaving so you get a molten middle.
