Step by step
Get ahead
These can be prepared up to 1 hour before cooking.
-
In a bowl, sift together the flour, sugar,
cocoa and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs and peanut butter, then pour into the dry mixture and stir well. Divide the mixture equally between 4 x 300ml microwave-proof mugs, teacups or ramekins. Divide the chocolate between the mugs, pushing it into the centre of the mixture. - Put 2 mugs in the microwave and cook on full power (800 watts) for 2 minutes until risen and just firm to the touch. Repeat to cook the other 2 cakes. Stand for 10 minutes, then top with scoops of ice cream and peanuts and a drizzle of melted chocolate.
