  1. Add the egg, flour, and baking powder directly into the glass jar of Nutella
  2. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients until well blended
  3. Microwave the glass Nutella jar for five minutes
  4. Let it cool slightly
  5. Dust the top with powdered sugar

The delicious, gooey cake will overflow over the top of the lid. The light dusting of powdered sugar on top gives the cake the extra touch of fanciness that this mug-style cake needs. One serving will be plenty as the rich cake will fill you right up.

If the Nutella jar is plastic, it would be wise to move the ingredients into a glass dish for microwaving.

Mug cakes are extremely popular and are a quick and easy solution when you are craving a sweet treat just for yourself. They often require only a few normal pantry staples and are easy to whip up. One YouTube commentator noted a helpful ratio to keep in mind.

“Just to help for cakes most ratios are 4,4,4 and 2. So if there are 2 eggs 4 ounces of butter, flour and sugar with 3 eggs 6 ounces of butter, flour and sugar 4 eggs 8 ounces of butter, flour and sugar ect.” says That one Kittypet.
