Nutella Mug Cake

You’re curled up on the couch after a long day, craving a sweet treat but not wanting to commit to making a full dessert.

Then, the perfect solution presents itself – a Nutella Mug Cake!

This life-changing treat that’s perfect for those moments when you need a little chocolatey pick-me-up.

Nutella Mug Cake was born out of the need for a quick, effortless dessert that could satisfy late-night cravings.

This delightful treat has since become a go-to for many people, including myself, who can’t resist the heavenly combination of Nutella and cake.

Why You Will Love It

Not only does it take just a few minutes to make, but it’s also the perfect serving size for one. With a moist, chocolatey texture and rich Nutella flavor, you’ll fall in love with this dessert from the first bite.

Tips

  1. Use a large coffee mug to avoid overflow.
  2. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Keep an eye on the cake while microwaving – cooking times may vary.
  4. Experiment with toppings – whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or even fresh fruit.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy it straight from the mug, or transfer it to a plate for a more elegant presentation. Top it with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh fruit for added flair and flavor.

Substitutions

  1. Swap self-rising flour for all-purpose flour and add ½ teaspoon baking powder.
  2. Replace Nutella with peanut butter or another nut butter for a different flavor profile.
  3. Use almond or soy milk for a dairy-free alternative.

FAQs:

Q: Can I make this cake without a microwave?

A: While this recipe is designed for microwaving, you can try baking the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Q: Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?

A: Yes, simply substitute the self-rising flour with gluten-free self-rising flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour and add ½ teaspoon of gluten-free baking powder.

Let’s make it:

Here’s what you’ll need

 

You’ll need 4 tablespoons sugar,

 

3 tablespoons cocoa powder,

 

4 tablespoons self-rising flour,

 

3 tablespoons milk,

 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil,

 

And the Nutella! This is an ingredient I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have on hand!

 

Oh yeah…and an egg. I think that’s the last ingredient.

 

Whisk with a fork until smooth

 

It has magically risen and baked completely in 1.5 minutes. Doesn’t get much better than this!

 

I quickly made some whipped cream, then dug in!
