Chocolate Mug Cake

Hello! Welcome back to my blog, Cooking with Ally! Today I will give you a mug cake recipe! :) It's a great recipe to make when you have a craving for something sweet but don't want to make a whole bunch. It's just enough for one person or two smaller portions to share.

Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ tsp. baking powder
• 2 tbsp. granulated sugar (you can add 1 tbsp. more to make it sweeter)
• ⅛ tsp. salt
• ¼ cup + 1 tbsp. milk
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp. hazelnut chocolate spread (aka... NUTELLA!!)

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
2. Whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until all ingredients are combined and batter has no clumps.
3. Pour batter into a microwave-safe mug. You want enough head space for the cake to rise without pouring over (14-ounce mug is recommended).
4. Add 1 tbsp. of hazelnut chocolate spread in the middle of the batter. Just plop it in the middle, you don’t need to push it down or sink it into the batter.
5. Place a paper towel into the microwave and set the mug on top (this is just to any catch batter if your mug cake overflows).
6. Microwave mug cake for about 70 seconds on high (ALL MICROWAVES ARE DIFFERENT SO YOU MAY USE LESS OR MORE TIME).
7. Carefully remove from microwave and enjoy!
   (If you want, you can top your mug cake with other things! We just use ice cream and whipped cream for ours.)
