Nutella Mug Cake
A Nutella Mug Cake is a quick, delicious treat that you can make in just a few minutes using a microwave. Perfect for satisfying those sudden dessert cravings, here’s a simple recipe to make a Nutella Mug Cake.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
3 tablespoons Nutella
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
A pinch of salt
Directions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mug (around 12 ounces to prevent overflowing), mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the same mug, add the egg, Nutella, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the mug to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. The cake should rise and the top should be set when it’s done.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for a couple of minutes. It can be enjoyed straight from the mug, or you can invert it onto a plate if you prefer. For an extra touch of indulgence, top it with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or an extra spoonful of Nutella.
Notes
- Mug Size: Ensure the mug is microwave-safe and large enough to allow the cake to rise without spilling over.
Cooking Time: Microwave ovens vary in power, so start with the lower cooking time (1 minute 30 seconds) and increase by 15-second intervals if needed.
Serving Suggestions: This cake is best enjoyed warm, right after cooking, when it’s fluffy and the Nutella flavor is most intense.
