40 Second Nutella Mug Cake

 
adapted from:BackToHerRoots

For years I have been trying to create the perfect single serve mug dessert. After all the recipes I have tried none seemed to work out. The cakes were either dry and or spongey beyond belief. I eventually gave up and resorted to box mug cake mixes. The box mug cake mixes are very delicious, but I don't have endless dollars to spend either. It's all about trial and error with these recipes. I decided to try the mug cake from this blog because it was easy to make.. and it has NUTELLA. Who doesn't like Nutella?! If you don't like Nutella we can't be friends. I kid you. I ended up microwaving this for 40 seconds not 90 seconds like the blog said because I have a very powerful microwave.


                                                                     You will need:
                                                                      1 egg, beaten
                                                                      1 tablespoon of Nutella
                                                                      1 heaping tablespoon of flour
                                                                      1 teaspoon of baking powder
                                                                      1 tablespoon of brown sugar
                                                                      * powdered sugar for dusting*
                        Steps: Have all your dry ingredients out and your egg beaten. MICE EN PLACE!
                     
              1. Whisk together all wet and dry ingredients, place in a large mug. * This recipe is moist  enough that you won't have to grease it. It worked out for me without any butter/spray!
                              2. Microwave at 70% power for 30 seconds. Then, check the cake and microwave on 100% power for 10 seconds.
                              3. Make sure the cake is moist , but not undercooked on the top and bottom.
                              4. Invert on a plate and dust with some pretty powdered sugar. MMM good!
               
                     
 
Serving Size: 1 delicious little cake
Simply amazing! My timing on this little cake was perfect  and I love the molten sauce that appears
when its inverted on the plate. OK NOW I HAVE TO WASH SOME DISHES AND GO ON THE TREADMILL. LOL.
