Tough day? Tough week? Tough decade? Need instant pick-me-up sans implied sleaziness? Need something you could make with your own hands to provide a sense of accomplishment without tearing down the kitchen? Need self-gratification in form of gluttony decadence?
You need a 5-minute chocolate Nutella mug cake. With just 5 minutes and some basic ingredients, you could potentially save yourself from total embarrassment or ruin because… well how many emotionally-distraught people can think straight?
Cake will save them. And you.
Every household should have Nutella at all times
You need:
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp Nutella
- 3 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- a slight pinch of salt
- 2 drops of vanilla essence (optional)
Mix everything together in a nice big mug. Mix hard and well. That means everything must be a nice smooth liquid, no lumpy bits to be found. This takes me a couple minutes because I stir the s- out of the mix.
Pop the mug into the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stick around and watch the cake mixture rise.
And it’s ready! Eat by itself or with cold creamy vanilla ice-cream.
You may now feel like the most accomplished person in the world… till the end of cake.
You’re welcome.
So Cool, too bad no microwave in my house…
What?? Why????
Shit, that looks damn good!
But I also don’t have a microwave…

I’m sure you make better than I do :D :D :D
Thanks for this recipe. It turned out much better than I expected. I had no problem at all with lumps coz I sieved the flour and baking powder and gradually add them in. Btw, if you use a whisker to stir the mixture (as opposed to ordinary spoon) you dun have to mix forever. Remember to stir with a whisker, you dun need to beat like you do to eggs. Just stir.
Take care. :) love the cake.
Wow thanks for the tips! I don’t have a mixer though, so will have to make do with the fork. Nice one about the sifting, I’ll give it a go next time and I wouldn’t have to stir like a mad woman :)
You dun have a mixer? Me bad. I actually meant a hand held egg beater. Do get one. Great for mixing everything. Life will never be the same. Lol
so yummy!!!
was good when warm and eaten with vanilla ice cream, heheheh
That looks amazing, I’m pretty sure we just paid $7 at a cafe for something that doesn’t look as good as this. Doh!

Is it just regular flour?
Now that we finally have a microwave at home, I’m gonna try this!
