Description
This delicious Nutella mug cake recipe is a quick and easy dessert, ready in just a few minutes in the microwave. Soft and gooey with a molten Nutella center, it’s the perfect dessert for a quick chocolate fix. (Serves 1 mug)
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flour – 30 g (about ¼ cup)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder – 25 g (about ¼ cup)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar – (about ⅛ cup)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil – 30 ml (about ⅛ cup)
- 4 tbsp milk – 60 ml (about ¼ cup)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp Nutella
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients — flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and brown sugar.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then stir until smooth and well combined.
- Pour half of the batter into a large microwave-safe mug, add the Nutella in the center, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Microwave for 1 to 1½ minutes at 800 watts, until the cake is set but still soft in the center.
- Let it cool for a minute before enjoying — it’s perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm Nutella.
Notes
Storage : Best enjoyed immediately. If needed, cover and keep at room temperature up to 4 hours. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.
Tips:
- Measure ingredients with a kitchen scale for best results.
- Mix just until smooth — overmixing can make the cake dense.
- Use a microwave-safe mug (12 oz minimum) to prevent overflow.
- Microwave in short bursts to keep a gooey center.
- Add an extra spoon of Nutella before baking for a molten texture.
