Instant cake gratification

What happens when you take a massive chocolate and peanut butter craving and combine it with a cupcake maker?
Mini chocolate cupcakes with a peanut butter centre of course. And all in under 5 minutes.


Here's how: 


(Adapted from Molten mug chocolate cake on good food)


4 tbsp self raising flour
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder ( I only had drinking chocolate so used this instead and added an instant coffee sachet to make it taste more chocolatey)
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp oil
1 egg
dash vanilla
Peanut butter


Start by mixing the dry ingredients then add the wet ones and mix well, ensuring all the dry ingredients are incorporated. You may find you need to add a little bit more milk to get a nice consistency. If you have a don't have a mini cake maker and want to try it in the oven then i'd guess the oven needs to be at about 180C. Spoon the mixture into the cake pans and top each one with a blob of peanut butter. Cook until risen and the tops have just set, I'd guess about 12 minutes, but I'm not sure as I made them in my cake machine.
Alternatively you could follow the original recipe and put the mix in a mug and microwave it for 2 min 30 ish.


Then just enjoy the chocolatey peanut butter goodness, like a mini reeses cup in cake form!


Just to warn you, such rapid cakes are moreish and will disappear very quickly!
