Nutella Mug Cake

I love Stumbleupon, its where I find alot of cool recipes, like strawberry jello shooters that are in real strawberries, or cupcakes with flaming strawberries. I might make those, someday; but today I want to share my absolute favorite recipe that I found on stumble: the Nutella Mug Cake. It is an amazing cake that is made in a unique way that I had never thought of before, you microwave it, which gives it a nice rich, dense moistness. I added a half of a Hershey's Symphony bar, the kind with the nuts and toffee and that made it insanely good, but it was so huge (I used a big soup mug) that I could only eat half of it, but it was good the next day.

Nutella Mug Cake
Ingredients
4 tablespoons self rising flour
4 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Nutella
3 tablespoons milk (I use almond milk of course)
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Method
1. Combine all ingredients in a large coffee mug. Whisk well with a fork until smooth. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 – 3 minutes. (Time depends on microwave wattage. Mine took 1 /2 minutes.) Top with whipped cream and a little chocolate sauce if desired.
2. Top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Enjoy!

(it is a good idea to beat the egg before hand and to try mixing the ingredients together like you would a regular cake, mix the egg and sugar, then the rest of the wet ingredients, and then adding the dry ingredients. my first attempt failed miserably, there were cooked egg pieces in it and flour left sticking to the bottom; also, I used a large mug and the batter started running out of it, which is why I switched to the very large soup mug. Mine is a mammoth mug, I can fit a whole can of soup in it, with the water added.

this recipe is so good! my all time favorite recipe for cake ever. I am considering, however, in trying out some cake and pie "in a jar recipes" so that may change.
