Nutella Mug Cake

Hi Guys
A lot of you very enthusiastically said yes for the recipe of the Nutella Mug Cake whose photos I posted on Instagram (@teaclap).

Before I begin, this recipe is super easy and perfect for a chocolate craving without having to breakdown your kitchen. It uses ingredients that are very easily available and will mostly be there in all our kitchens. Although please make note of the fact that I used an actual measuring tablespoon/teaspoon in the recipe and not the spoons we use for eating. You might want to check the internet for easy conversions or substitutes for the measuring spoon.

Other than that, its super easy to make and tastes like heaven in my mouth and is eggless. My friends loved it so much that they refused to share it with me 😛

So there you go.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons flour
1.5 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch of baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar (I used castor sugar)
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil (You can use any other vegetable oil too if you want!)
4 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon of Nutella (plus extra for the end)

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
Whisk in the milk and oil until all ingredients are combined and the batter has no lumps.
Pour the batter into a microwave safe mug.
Add the Nutella in the middle of the batter. Just drop it in the middle- there is no need to push it down or mix it.
Microwave the mug for 90 seconds. The cake should have risen. You can put a small toothpick or knife in it and if it comes out clean, you know it’s done! If it doesn’t come out clean, put the mug back in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Once done, remove the mug from the microwave and it’s ready to eat! Go on and add a layer of Nutella on top. I love the cake with a cup of coffee. The cake tastes the best while its still hot. If you don’t eat it immediately ,you can put it in the oven for 20-30 seconds to warm it up a bit before eating it. You can also add vanilla ice cream and Nutella on top before serving. Be creative.
