Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ½ tablespoons almond milk, divided
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients gradually: Add 3 tablespoons of almond milk to the dry mixture and stir well. Follow by stirring in the vanilla extract. Next, incorporate the chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella) thoroughly. Finally, add the remaining ½ tablespoon of almond milk and mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
  3. Transfer to mug: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug, spreading it evenly.
  4. Microwave the cake: Cook the mug cake in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Let it rest for about 5 seconds, then continue microwaving for approximately 30 seconds more, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the mug for 2 to 4 minutes before enjoying your fudgy Nutella mug cake.

Notes

  • Microwave cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug to prevent any hazards.
  • The coconut flour helps add texture and moisture; do not substitute it with more all-purpose flour directly.
  • Letting the cake cool slightly improves the fudgy texture and flavor.
  • You can top with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
