Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity), whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, Nutella, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Scrape down the sides of the mug with a spoon to ensure all the batter is distributed evenly at the bottom.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with the lower time and add additional seconds if needed.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and allow the cake to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Serve warm as is or top with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or an extra drizzle of Nutella.
