Chocolate Mug Cake with Nutella

With

Steph De Sousa

SERVES

1

Chocolate mug cake with Nutella

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp plain flour

  • 1.5 tbsp cacao powder

  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

  • 1/8 tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 tbsp milk chocolate bits

  • 3 tbsp full cream milk

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 tbsp choc hazelnut spread (Nutella)

Method

  1. Mix your dry ingredients together, placing plain flour, caster sugar, baking powder, cacao powder, choc bits and salt into a mug and mix well.

  2. Pour milk and vegetable oil into the mug and mix the ingredients together.

  3. Microwave starting with one minute, then heat at 15 second intervals until cooked through. It should rise, and look set on top but still be slightly soft in the middle.

  4. Drop a spoonful of hazelnut spread into the centre of the cake and enjoy.

Steph De Sousa

Steph De Sousa cooks as The Frugal Foodie, building recipes around what's already in the pantry and the produce nobody wants to throw out. Her style is straightforward and budget-aware without being austere: roast vegetable peelings, second-day rice, a freezer worked properly. She brings practical home rhythms to Savour and Wander.
