Ingredients

  • ½ peach thinly sliced or chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon salted butter divided
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Melt ½ tablespoon butter in a 10 to 12 ounce microwave safe mug with 3 to 4 peach slices and ½ tablespoon of brown sugar for 30 seconds.
  • In a small bowl, whisk ½ tablespoon melted butter with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, vanilla, milk, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Spoon batter into the mug over the peaches. Do not stir. Place remaining peach slices on top, sprinkle with ½ tablespoon of brown sugar and a extra pinch of cinnamon if desired. Add remaining ½ tablespoon of butter on top.
  • Microwave on full power for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave. Begin checking mug cake at about 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Serve with ice cream!

Notes

  1. Can you make this mug cake vegan or gluten-free? 
    Absolutely! Substitute the butter for vegan butter and the milk for nut or oat milk. To make it gluten-free, substitute a gluten-free 1:1 flour.
  2. How to make a mug cake fluffy? Be careful not to overmix the batter, which could make a mug cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until combined for the best texture. Over-microwaving can also cause a mug cake to become tough. I like to check the cake at 1 minute and then add intervals as necessary. You want the cake to be set and a little shiny on top.
  3. What size mug do I need? You will need a 10-12 ounce microwave-safe mug.
