Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Self-Rising Flour
- 4 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 3 tablespoons Nutella®
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In an extra large microwave-safe mug, add 4 tablespoons of self-rising flour and 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Mix in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder with the flour and sugar in the mug to ensure an even chocolate flavor.
- Add Egg: Crack 1 egg directly into the mug to provide structure and moisture to the cake.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to bind the ingredients and add richness.
- Incorporate Nutella: Add 3 tablespoons of Nutella to the mixture, then use a fork to blend all ingredients thoroughly until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Microwave Cooking: Heat the mug in the microwave on high power for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so heat a little longer if the cake is not set in the center.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave, let it cool slightly to avoid burning, then enjoy the warm, luscious Nutella mug cake straight from the mug.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug that is large enough to hold the batter without overflowing.
- Microwave cooking times can vary; start with 1 1/2 minutes and add additional time in 15-second increments if needed.
- For added texture, you can sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top before microwaving.
- This recipe serves one but can be doubled or tripled using larger mugs or separate mugs for multiple servings.
- Let the cake cool for a couple of minutes before eating as it will be very hot straight out of the microwave.
