Ingredients 

  • 1/3 cup Nutella
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder, (or 1 tbsp of flour)

Instructions 

  • Grab a large, microwave-safe coffee mug. You need space because this cake is going to rise. (tip: if you don't have a mug, you can use a small bowl) Use a small whisk or a fork to mix together nutella and the egg until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Mix It All Up: Toss in your cocoa powder and continue to whisk until smooth. No lumps here, we want a silky-smooth cake batter. Pop your mug into the microwave and let it cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute. You’ll know it’s done when the top is set but still a little soft to the touch. It should have a slightly gooey, almost molten lava cake vibe.

Notes

Topping Ideas
  • Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over your warm mug cake? Pure heaven. Oh and a little fresh fruit on top seals the deal *chef's kiss*
  • Extra Nutella: Go ahead and drizzle a little more Nutella on top. You know you want to! 
  • Whipped Cream: Because every dessert gets better with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream.
  • Crushed Oreos: Want to take it up a notch? Throw some crushed Oreos on top for that Oreo mug cake twist.
  • Chocolate chips: chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, even butterscotch chips - all are a great addition.
