Instructions

In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients—flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and brown sugar.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla, and stir until you have a smooth batter.
Pour half of the batter into the mug, then add the Nutella in the center and cover with the remaining batter.
Microwave for 1 to 1.5 minutes at 800 watts until the center is fully cooked.
Let it cool slightly before enjoying with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream.

Notes

Enjoy Immediately: The Nutella mug cake is best enjoyed warm, right after cooking, to fully appreciate the gooey center.

Not Suitable for Storage: Mug cakes can become dry if reheated, so it's recommended to prepare and enjoy it fresh.

Tips:

Use a large enough mug to prevent the cake from overflowing while cooking.
Add a spoonful of Nutella in the center for an extra gooey core.
Customize to your taste by adding hazelnuts, chocolate chips, or even a scoop of ice cream on top.
