Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons Nutella
- Optional toppings: extra Nutella, chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Add in the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
- Dollop the Nutella into the center of the batter. If you want an extra gooey center, push the Nutella down slightly towards the bottom but be careful not to stir it in completely.
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave. The cake should rise and set on top but stay moist in the middle.
- Allow the cake to cool for a minute or two before diving in. Optionally, top it with an extra swirl of Nutella and some chopped hazelnuts for added texture and flavor.
Helpful Tips
If you find your cake is too dry, try reducing the cook time slightly or adding a bit more milk for extra moisture. Beginners can measure ingredients carefully to ensure the best results.
Storage Instructions
This mug cake is best enjoyed immediately, but if you need to store it, cover it and keep it at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
Variations
For a different twist, try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter. For an extra indulgent treat, drop a square of dark chocolate into the center along with the Nutella.
Pairings
This Nutella Mug Cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a warm beverage, serve it alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a steaming mug of hot cocoa.
