🥘 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!
- All-Purpose Flour - ¼ cup spoon and leveled.

- 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.

🔪 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!
- 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.
- Add flour. Add ¼ cup all-purpose flour and mix thoroughly.
- 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!
