Easy Microwave Nutella Mug Cake: The Perfect Late-Night Treat

Microwave Nutella Mug Cake

Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 1-2 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• 3 tablespoons milk

• 3 tablespoons vegetable2 oil

• 1 tablespoon Nutella

• Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
  

Equipment:

• 12-ounce microwave-safe mug

• Fork
  

Instructions:

1. Combine dry ingredients: In the mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a fork.
   

2. Add wet ingredients: Add the milk, oil, and Nutella to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
   

3. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through. Keep a close eye on it as cooking times may vary depending on your microwave. The cake is done when it is puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   

4. Cool slightly: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before serving.
   

5. Serve: Enjoy your warm and gooey Nutella mug cake as is, or top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
   

Tips and Variations:

• For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of regular milk.

• If you don't have Nutella, you can substitute it with any chocolate hazelnut spread.

• Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.

• For a more decadent cake, add a tablespoon of chocolate chips to the batter.

• If you want a cake with a more cake-like texture, add an extra tablespoon of flour to the batter.
