nutella mug cake

Ever have that sweet tooth craving that you just can't seem to satisfy after supper? You don't really want to bake a whole cake, or make a whole pie, or an entire batch of cookies. You really just want a single serving of something tasty. Well, look no further, you've found the solution! This sweet treat takes less than 5 minutes to make from start to finish and is melt in your mouth good! And if you don't like nutella, feel free to leave it out. You can't really even taste it, but I think it makes the cake extra moist.

what you'll need:
  • 4 Tbsp. self-rising flour
  • 4 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 3 Tbsp. milk
  • 3 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 3 Tbsp. nutella
  • an extra large mug

how you'll do it:
put all ingredients in your mug and mix well with fork
put in microwave for 1 min; take out and stir
put in for another 30-60 seconds as you watch it rise
be sure to watch it because if it cooks too long it will be dry, 
and a dry cake is no good 

if all goes well, it will look something like this:

now pour yourself a glass of ice cold milk and enjoy!
