I’m back again to bring you something you won’t be able to resist. 5 Minute Nutella Mug Cake! I found this gem on Pinterest and just had to try it. It’s one of my guilty pleasures, and let me tell you, this is a Pinterest success. I made 3 mugs worth and ended up eating all of them. The very best part about this recipe is that it takes 5 minutes!
Here’s the recipe:
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1 egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or more to taste
2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®), or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
I didn’t have cocoa powder lying around so I ended up using baker’s unsweetened chocolate. It was surprisingly easy to get into a powder by shaving the chocolate with a knife (or you could just go buy cocoa powder).
I just finished eating my third mug of Nutella cake and I’m thinking about going back for fourths! I hope you liked this Pinterest success!

Where are the directions? I’m assuming you microwave this but for how long?
