Chocolate Mug Cake with Choc Hazelnut Spread

This is the kind of dessert you make when you want something sweet right now and cannot be bothered baking a whole cake. It’s quick, chocolatey, and made in a mug, which means less mess and barely any waiting around.

The choc hazelnut spread in the middle makes it feel a bit extra without adding any real effort.

Why you’ll love it

This one is fast, easy, and perfect for those times when you just want a little something sweet without making a whole production out of it.

Handy tips

Don’t overcook it, because mug cakes go from perfect to rubbery very quickly. Stop when the top looks just set and the middle is still slightly soft.
