3 INGREDIENT FLOURLESS NUTELLA MUG CAKE

This single serving Nutella mug cake is ridiculously easy to make with just 3 ingredients. It’s rich, dense, chocolatey and everything a flourless cake should be.
Here is a really quick video I put together recently showing how easy it is:
This version is little more chocolate intense and not as Nutella-y as the original 2 ingredient version, but it’s delicious and the trade-off is that you can eat it right away.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Combine all ingredients in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix vigorously with a small whisk until batter is smooth and egg has been completely mixed in.

Need a new veggie side to serve with dinner? Try these simple baked tomatoes with a melted parmesan topping!
