Indulgence: The 5-Minute Nutella Mug Cake


I found this recipe a while ago somewhere online and thought "where have you been all my life?". I've only made it once before because too much of this heavenly dessert would certainly be bad for my health. Enjoy, sparingly :) 
Nutella Mug Cake
Ingredients
4 tablespoons self rising flour (I used normal flour and it turned out great)
3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Nutella
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Method
Combine all ingredients in a large coffee mug. Whisk well with a fork until smooth. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 – 3 minutes. (Mine took 1 1/2 minutes with a little yummy gooeyness on the bottom.) 
Note: Depending on the wattage of your microwave, you may have to increase cooking time. Also, the measurements aren't too delicate. I already took out one tablespoon of sugar from the original recipe and it still tasted delicious. 
Makes 1 very large serving. Or 2 normal servings. If you're anything like us, you share everything anyway :)

There are several other mug cakes on the site if you aren't a Nutella fan. But if you aren't a Nutella fan, you should reconsider.

Also, here is an update on our garden: the tomato plants have recently exploded with lots of little tomatoes, but none of them are ripe yet. The zucchini, however, are doing just fine. We have three that are almost there! Look at that beauty!
