Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 5 tablespoons Nutella Provides the primary chocolate flavor and moisture; ensure you use high-quality Nutella for the best taste.
  • 1 large Egg Adds structure and richness; for a vegan option, replace with 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder Enhances the chocolate flavor; use unsweetened cocoa powder for a better balance.
  • 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour Provides a slight structure to the cake; can be substituted with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps the cake rise slightly and achieve a fluffy texture; only a small amount is needed for optimal results.
  • 1 tablespoon Nutella Creates a molten chocolate surprise in the cake; don’t skip this step for the best texture and flavor.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe mug

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large, wide microwave-safe mug, combine 5 tablespoons of Nutella and 1 large egg using a fork. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, about 30 seconds.
  2. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly with your fork until no dry cocoa pockets remain, about 20-30 seconds.
  3. Create a small well in the center of the batter and carefully spoon in 1 tablespoon of Nutella. Do not mix it in; this will create a gooey, molten center once baked.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on medium power for 90 seconds. Keep an eye on the cake as it cooks.
  5. Once your Nutella mug cake is cooked to perfection, allow it to cool for 1 minute before serving.
