Decadent Microwave Chocolate Hazelnut Mug Cake

Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts
- Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Mug: Select a microwave-safe mug with at least a 12-ounce capacity to ensure the cake has room to rise without spilling over.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the mug, combine 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to mix well until there are no lumps.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

4. Incorporate Chocolate and Nuts: Fold in 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of chopped hazelnuts gently into the batter, ensuring an even distribution throughout.

5. Microwave the Cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. The cake is done when it has risen and the top appears set. Be cautious, as microwaves can vary in power. If necessary, microwave in 10-second increments until done.

6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a minute before enjoying. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
