Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt with a fork until well combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and espresso powder to the mug. Stir with the fork until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in the chocolate hazelnut spread and chopped hazelnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying. This prevents burning and allows the flavors to meld.
- For extra crunch and visual appeal, sprinkle additional chopped hazelnuts or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
