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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Scrape down the sides of the mug with a spoon to ensure all the batter is distributed evenly at the bottom.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and allow the cake to cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Serve warm as is or top with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or an extra drizzle of Nutella.
