Ingredients
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. Mix gently to blend the dry components.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Add 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mug and mix well to distribute the cocoa evenly throughout the flour and sugar mixture.
- Add Egg: Crack 1 egg into the mug, ensuring it is fresh. This will help bind the ingredients and give the cake its structure.
- Add Milk and Oil: Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. These wet ingredients keep the cake moist and tender.
- Incorporate Nutella: Add 3 tablespoons of Nutella® to the mug. Using a fork, stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth, and no lumps remain, ensuring Nutella is evenly incorporated.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Depending on your microwave’s wattage, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly until the cake is set but still moist.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for a minute or two, then enjoy your warm, rich Nutella mug cake straight from the mug.
Notes
- Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent batter from overflowing during cooking.
- Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage; start with 1 1/2 minutes and add time in 15-second increments if needed.
- For extra texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts or chocolate chips before microwaving.
- This recipe is a quick single-serving dessert, ideal for satisfying chocolate cravings fast.
