    🥘 Ingredients

    You are just 4 simple ingredients away from enjoying an indulgent dessert! Most ingredients are probably already in your pantry, you just need Nutella!

    Ingredients needed to make a Nutella mug cake.
    • All-Purpose Flour - ¼ cup spoon and leveled.
    • Baking Powder - ¼ teaspoon.
    • Nutella - ¼ cup.
    • Milk - 3 tablespoons milk of your choice.

    A pinch of salt, a ⅛ teaspoon of sugar, or a ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract can be added to the batter to suit your tastes.

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🔪 How To Make Nutella Mug Cake

    It doesn't get much more simple than this. All you need is a coffee mug and a fork!

    Process photo 1, showing dry ingredients in mug.
    Process photo 2, showing nutella added in mug.
    Process photo 3, showing flour added in mug.
    Process photo 4, showing mixed cake batter in mug before cooking in the microwave.
    1. Combine ingredients. In an oversized mug or mixing bowl combine the ingredients except for the flour ( ¼ cup Nutella, 3 tablespoons milk, and ¼ teaspoon baking powder), stir to combine.
    2. Add flour. Add ¼ cup all-purpose flour and mix thoroughly.
    3. Bake. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes (checking for doneness after 1 minute). A toothpick entered into the center of the mug cake should come out clean, if not, microwave in short 20-second increments until done.

    A dollop of whip cream completes this simple dessert perfectly. If you are a milk drinker, it is also delicious with a glass of milk! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Place a paper towel under your mug in the microwave to catch any spills or overflow.
    • This mug cake will expand while cooking. To prevent overflow, use a mug that is only half-full when the batter is combined and/or pause the heating cycle once you see the cake expand above the rim of your mug.
    • A mug that is not tapered (smaller at the bottom and larger at the top) will cook more evenly.
    • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your microwave.
    • Storing: If you don't eat all of your Nutella mug cake or you made it for later, cover it and pop it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. They are delicious cold, so no need to reheat!

      YUM! Made this vegan by using chocolate soom tahini (3 Tbsp) + Apple sauce (1 Tbsp) instead of the nutella amount.

      After it cooked, we added some chopped strawberries and little sprinkle of mini chocolate chips.

      Thank you!
