Description

This Nutella Mug Cake is a quick and easy single-serving dessert that combines the rich, creamy taste of Nutella with a soft, fluffy cake texture. Perfect for a late-night treat or an instant sweet craving, this microwave mug cake comes together in just a few minutes with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons Nutella (plus additional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until they are evenly combined and free of lumps.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, canola oil, and Nutella into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture.
  3. Prepare Mug: Transfer the Nutella mug cake batter into a large microwave-safe mug that can hold at least 10 ounces (1¼ cups) of liquid. A cappuccino mug is ideal for this size requirement.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cook time may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage, so you may need an additional 10 to 15 seconds if the cake is not fully set.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally top the warm mug cake with a dollop of extra Nutella (about 2 to 3 teaspoons) for added richness and garnish before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug large enough to prevent spilling during cooking.
  • Adjust microwave time based on your appliance’s power to avoid overcooking.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative if preferred.
  • For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
  • Consume the mug cake immediately for the best taste and texture.
