I really love cakes and bakes and cannot stay away from anything that has got chocolate & has got Nutella. To consciously keep a check on my sugar intake, I have nearly stopped baking large cakes as much as possible other than special occasions!
However Mug desserts works perfect for quick fix and for instant gratification. I thoroughly enjoy making small dessert portions just enough for 1 !!

Microwave Mug Cake Recipes are one of the best-est things to be invented.What I’m truly amazed is that how quickly the ingredients turn into a gorgeously tasting cake. There is certainly a difference between microwave cake and oven baked cake in texture.. but there is no compromise in flavours.
Moreover when you top it up with a dollop of Ice cream, this quick microwave Nutella Cake tastes just out of the world.
TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
COOKING TIME – 60 seconds Cooking time suggested is based on 1200W Microwave. I have made this mug cake in my old 800W microwave oven and it took me about 90 seconds. Start checking at 50 seconds of microwave cooking.
DO NOT OVER COOK – If your cake is cooked for long, it will dry out and get hardened too.
SERVE THIS MICROWAVE MUG CAKE with a Dollop of Ice cream.
