Chocolate Nutella Mug cake

Early in the morning, my son wants to have strawberry cheesecake from the videoclip he saw the night before for breakfast. I wasn't going to make one, as it requires at least 3hrs  of sitting in the fridge.

So 'suppression vs substitution' strategy,  I decided on substitution. Substitute with a chocolate mug cake, so I googled and found this recipe. He was thrilled as it is fun and fast. Most importantly, it is yummy chocolate cake!

Chocolate Nutella Mug Cake

Yield: 1 mug cake

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Nutella 

Directions:

1) In a large mug, whisk (with a small whisk or large fork) together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt). 

2) Add the milk, vegetable oil and nutella. Whisk until smooth. 

Optional:add in white chocolate chips into batter, sprinkle thousands n thousands sprinkles on top.

3)Cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. This recipe will rise a lot and then deflate. I know it's strange, but trust me it's delicious! 

3)Serve immediately!

Possible variation is to stir in mini marshmallows or some chopped walnuts to add a little something different! Add both and it's like a Rocky Road Mug Cake!
