Chocolate Mug Cake & Peanut Chantilly

If I had followed the calendar to the letter, today I would have made pancakes...

But not want!

Instead, I decided to make THE recipe of the moment, Mug Cake.

Another funny thing from the USA (!), Which consists in making in 5 minutes flat a delicious cake contained in a coffee cup and cooked in the microwave.

Enough to satisfy an urgent desire... for chocolate!!!

For fun, I made a peanut-flavored whipped cream, which I placed on top of each mug cake. It's a flavor duo that I really like, but you already know that...

Recipe for 2 Mug-Cakes:

{no need for a measuring cup, here the proportions are made with a teaspoon (cc) or tablespoon (cs), to go faster!}

- Melt 4 tbsp of unsalted butter in the microwave, set aside for later.

- In a container, mix 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla, 2 eggs and 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

- Separately, mix the dry ingredients: 4 tbsp flour, 6 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. Then add this mixture to the previous mixture.

- Pour in the melted butter, mix one last time, and fill 2 mugs with this mixture.

- Cook in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes (1 minute = soft, 2 minutes = well done). The duration should be adapted to your own oven of course.

- Then make the peanut whipped cream: whip 20cl of whole liquid cream (30% fat) into a firm whipped cream with 2 tbsp of caster sugar. Once the whipped cream has set, add 2 tbsp of peanut butter, previously softened with a fork. Whisk again and place on each mug cake.

Enjoy without waiting!
