This single-serving peanut butter cake is just 4 ingredients. It takes less than five minutes to prepare, and no special tools are needed. It doesn’t get much easier than this.
One of my favorite recipes is my easy peanut butter mug cake recipe. Several people asked me whether the recipe can be made in the oven. So I’ve been working on an oven version.
Ingredients
- Creamy peanut butter
- Granulated sugar
- Large egg
- Baking powder
Recipe Steps
Lightly grease a 10-12 oz ramekin or similar round baking dish.
Whisk all four ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake the cake for 18 to 20 minutes at 350°F. Cool the cake for a few minutes before serving.
Toppings
This peanut butter cake works great as a quick fix but is a little plain on its own. Here are some topping ideas you might like:
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla ice cream
- Frosting
- Melted chocolate chips or peanut butter chips drizzled over the top
Single Serving Peanut Butter Cake (No Microwave)
This oven version isn’t quite as fluffy as my microwave mug version and the edges are slightly firmer, but it works and it satisfied my sweet craving.
I know I could make a peanut butter cake with a more tender crumb, but I was trying to keep the recipe as easy as possible so that it would be as easy as the mug cake. When drizzled with chocolate syrup, it still tasted pretty darn good.

Single Serving Peanut Butter Cake
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp + 2 tsp white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 10-12 oz ramekin or similar round baking dish.
- In a small mixing bowl, add all 4 ingredients. Mix with a whisk until batter is smooth and egg is completely beaten into the batter. Pour batter into baking dish.
- Cook for 18-20 minutes, until top of the cake is just cooked. When you touch the surface of the cake, it should gently bounce back rather than stay sunken in. Let cake cool for a few minutes before eating. I recommend that you top with ice cream, or some kind of syrup as the cake is a little plain on its own.
