This Nutella mug cake has a soft and fluffy texture with a rich chocolatey Nutella flavor. But the best part is it takes only 1 minute to make with 3 simple ingredients!

 

THE BEST NUTELLA MUG CAKE

If you like Nutella, chocolate, and cake, you'll fall in love with this super easy dessert recipe. And easy might be an understatement. 

This Nutella cake recipe involves mixing a couple of ingredients, microwaving the cake, and then it's indulgence time!

Seriously, in just 1 minute you'll have yourself a mug cake that is so rich, decadent, moist and hits all the cravings. 

I love whipping this up as an after-dinner dessert or late-night treat. And since it's a single-serve cake, it has just the perfect amount. It's a good thing too because if this were a whole cake, it'd be nearly impossible not to eat the entire thing!

Oh, and since it's made with just 3 basic ingredients, it makes it super convenient to whip up at a moment's notice.

It's as convenient and delicious as making this Oreo mug cake, cookies & cream mug cake, and these 3 ingredient sugar cookies!

INGREDIENTS

So, as you know, this Nutella mug cake only requires 3 super simple ingredients. And those ingredients are...

• 2½ Tbsp Nutella 
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

You'll be amazed that just three ingredients can create such a decadent flourless mug cake. And you can use the Nutella to make this 2 ingredient Nutella fudge and 3 ingredient Nutella cookies next!

HOW TO MAKE A NUTELLA MUG CAKE

The process of making this Nutella mug cake is as easy as it gets. That's why it's by far one of my favorite Nutella recipes, and honestly, one of the most delicious.

I know by now you're dying to indulge, so let's get to it!

STEP 1: MIXING THE INGREDIENTS

First, take out a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, coat it with baking spray, and set it aside.  

Then add the Nutella, egg, and cocoa powder to a small bowl and whisk with a fork until everything combines and a batter-like consistency forms.

Once you have that, pour it into the prepared mug or ramekin.

STEP 2: COOKING THE CAKE

Now put the mug cake in the microwave for about 60-75 seconds. You'll want to check it at the 45 second mark to see how it's cooking - you can always put it back in but don't want to overcook it as the cake will dry out. 

Alternatively, you can bake the mug cake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. 

Then let it cool for a minute or so, and top with about another tablespoon of Nutella. Finally, eat it right out of the mug or transfer it to a plate and dig in!

WRAPPING IT ALL UP

That is how to make a Nutella mug cake with 3 ingredients! 

It makes for the most satisfying single-serve dessert whenever you're craving cake, Nutella, or something rich, chocolatey, and delicious. And it's perfect when you just want a sweet treat in minutes!
