Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mug and Ingredients
First of all, choose a mug whose capacity must be no less than 8 ounces. (240 ml). Crack one egg into the mug, and then beat it until it is slightly lumpy. Subsequently, mix Nutella (or any other sweet spread or nut butter) and then mix your preferred flour (or sweetener). Combine all the ingredients until they are well incorporated.
Step 2: Microwave and Cook the Cake
Put the mug in the microwave and heat it for 60-90 seconds, more or less one to one and a half minutes. The cake should become lighter and its texture should be rather porous. In case you observe any liquid on the bottom or if the cake is not done to your liking, microwave it in intervals of 15 seconds until done.
