For this quick dessert, you need the following main ingredients: - 1 ripe peach, diced - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder - Pinch of salt - 1/4 cup milk (or any plant-based milk) - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) These ingredients come together to create a warm and sweet treat that feels like home. You can make this mug cake your own with a few optional ingredients: - A dash of nutmeg for extra warmth - Extra fruit, like blueberries or raspberries, for mix-ins - Chopped nuts for crunch - A sprinkle of brown sugar for a caramelized top These additions give you room for creativity and flavor. If you don’t have some main ingredients, here are easy swaps: - Use any soft fruit instead of peach, like apples or pears. - Swap the milk for almond milk or oat milk. - If you’re out of cornstarch, use flour as a thickener, but reduce it slightly. - For a vegan option, replace the vegetable oil with applesauce. These substitutions ensure you can still enjoy this dessert no matter what you have on hand. The full recipe will guide you through the process. Start with your ripe peach. Dice it into small pieces. In a microwave-safe mug, add the diced peach. Sprinkle in the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Mix well, making sure every piece of peach gets coated. This step helps draw out the peach juices, which adds flavor to the cake. Set the mug aside for a few minutes. Let the mixture rest while you prepare the batter. Grab a mixing bowl. In this bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. If you like, add ground cinnamon for extra warmth. Next, pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Add the pure vanilla extract too. Now, gently stir the mixture until it just comes together. Don’t overmix! The batter should be slightly lumpy, which keeps the cake soft. Now it's time to combine the two mixtures. Carefully pour the batter over the peach base in your mug. Use a spoon to stir gently a couple of times. This creates a lovely ripple effect, letting the peaches peek through. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. After 1 minute, check if it’s done. The top should look set but still moist. If not, microwave for a few more seconds. Once ready, take the mug out and let it cool for a minute. Top it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your delicious peach cobbler mug cake! For the complete recipe, check the Full Recipe section. To get the best texture, mix the batter gently. Overmixing can make the cake tough. You want it light and fluffy. When you pour the batter over the peaches, do not stir too much. A few gentle swirls are enough. This keeps the peaches visible after cooking. Serve your mug cake hot for the best taste. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream melts into the warm cake, creating a tasty mix. You can also use whipped cream for a lighter option. If you want, sprinkle extra cinnamon or add fresh peach slices. This adds color and flavor to your dessert. One common mistake is cooking too long. Start with one minute and check the cake. If it’s still wet, add 15 seconds. Another mistake is using too much flour. It can make the cake dense. Stick to the recipe for the best results. Always let the mug cake cool for a minute before eating. This gives it time to set and makes it easier to enjoy. For the full recipe, refer back to the beginning! {{image_4}} You can switch out peaches for other fruits. Try diced apples, blueberries, or strawberries. Each fruit brings its own flavor. Apples give a crisp bite. Blueberries add a juicy burst. Strawberries offer a sweet, tangy taste. You can mix fruits too! Create a delicious blend for your mug cake. Want to make this dessert gluten-free? Use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. Almond flour works well too. Just keep the other ingredients the same. Your cake will still be tasty and fluffy. Be sure to check for gluten in your other ingredients, like baking powder. To make a vegan version, swap milk for plant-based milk. Almond, soy, or oat milk all work great. Use vegetable oil as your fat source. Replace the whipped cream with coconut cream or dairy-free ice cream. This gives you a delightful vegan treat that everyone can enjoy! For the full recipe, check the complete guide. If you have leftover Peach Cobbler Mug Cake, you can store it easily. Let the cake cool completely first. Then, cover the mug with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. This keeps the cake fresh and moist. Store it in the fridge for up to two days. To enjoy your leftover mug cake, you can reheat it in the microwave. Place the covered mug in the microwave. Heat for about 10 to 15 seconds. Check if it is warm enough. If not, heat it for a few more seconds. Watch closely to avoid overheating, as it can dry out. You can also freeze the mug cake for later. Allow the cake to cool fully, just like before. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe bag. Label the bag with the date. You can freeze it for up to three months. To eat it, thaw the mug overnight in the fridge, then reheat as mentioned above. For the full recipe, check the earlier section for all the tasty details! Yes, you can use an oven instead. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the cake batter into a small oven-safe dish. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden. This method takes longer but can give a nice crust. I like to use granulated sugar for a simple touch. Brown sugar adds a deeper flavor. You can also use honey or maple syrup for a unique twist. Adjust the amount based on your taste. For a healthier option, try using a sugar substitute. Check the top of the cake. It should look set and not shiny. You can use a toothpick to test it. Insert it into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. For more details, refer to the Full Recipe.

Ingredients
  

1 ripe peach, diced

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup milk (or any plant-based milk)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for topping

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug, combine the diced peach with the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly, ensuring that each peach piece is well coated with the sugar and cornstarch mixture. Set this aside to allow the juices to flow.

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. If you're using cinnamon for added warmth, include it in this mixture as well.

      Pour the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined—be mindful not to overmix, as this will affect the cake's texture.

        Carefully pour the cake batter over the peach mixture in the mug. Using a spoon, gently stir it a couple of times to create a subtle ripple effect without fully mixing the two layers. This will allow the peaches to peek through the batter as it cooks.

          Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. After 1 minute, check the consistency. The cake should appear set on top yet remain moist—watch closely to avoid overcooking.

            Once cooked, remove the mug from the microwave and let it cool for about a minute. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
