Instructions
Mix the Batter
In a large microwave-safe mug combine the chocolate protein powder cocoa powder and baking powder and stir with a fork to combine the dry ingredients.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the egg almond milk and natural peanut butter to the mug. Stir vigorously until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps visible. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mug to ensure everything is incorporated.
Microwave the Cake
Microwave the mug on high power for 60 to 90 seconds depending on your microwave wattage. The cake is done when the center is just set and slightly moist. Do not overcook it or the texture will become rubbery.
Cool and Serve
Allow the mug cake to cool for one minute before eating as it will be very hot immediately after cooking. Eat directly from the mug with a spoon and enjoy as is or top with a drizzle of extra peanut butter.
