I am drooling. Mike is drooling. We don’t have all of the ingredients but be certain that we will by Sunday. WOW!!!!!
Haha, enjoy when you do make it! Thanks for the tweet ;)
HOLY cow– that looks so good! Can’t believe how easy it is to make, and I usually have all those ingredients right on hand!
I had no idea you could “bake” a cake in the microwave! I’ll definitely be trying this out.
This looks delicious!! I loooove hazelnut, sounds perfect for me!
this is the greatest thing i’ve ever seen
simply mind-blowing.
Genius! I wonder if I can figure out a way to work in some of that TJ’s cookie butter…
I just used TJ’s Cookie Butter and it is PERFECT!!!
Thanks
I need this. Think it would work with regular pb?
Yeah, give it a shot! You might want to increase the sugar a bit b/c the Justin’s butter definitely has some in it and pb doesn’t.
HOLY CRAP that looks good! I’m making this over the weekend when my mom comes. She LOVES hazelnut so much that I made sure to have a bottle of Frangelico ready … hmm … I wonder what it would taste like if I added that to it. :)
I’ll take one!
I have seen so many mug cakes lately on Pinterest….I’m convinced fully of how good they are after seeing this.
And…EASY. Microwave. love it.
