Description

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons (11/2oz) melted butter
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• 3 tablespoons whole milk, at room temperature
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ounce Crafters & Co. Peppermint Bark (Get it at Hallmark Gold Crown Stores)
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 ounce Peppermint Bark
• 1 Tbs Whipped cream

Directions

• In a 2 cup capacity or larger mug, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt with a fork until combined.
• Add in the melted butter, peppermint extract, milk, egg and vanilla.
• Use your fork to whisk until it is well combined, and no flour mixture is stuck to the bottom.
• Take pieces of peppermint bark and place into the center of the mug, it will sink, so no need to push it down.
• Dump a tablespoon of water on top of the batter. Do not mix it.
• Cook in microwave on full power for 1 minute and 20 seconds to 2 minutes, until the cake rises to the top, the edges look set but the center looks just a little bit wet, every microwave is different, so touch the center, it should be a little sticky, but not outright wet.
• If you want a molten interior, do not over bake. Check at the 1 minute 20 second interval, and add 5-10 seconds at a time until desired doneness is reached.
• Remove from microwave and let it cool 3-5 minutes, cake will fall, but it will help you to not burn your tongue.
• Top with additional peppermint bark and whipped cream if desired.
