4 Tips for making this 3-Ingredient Nutella Mug Cake
➊ Stir your ingredients well to avoid lumps before microwaving.
➋ Use room temperature ingredients. If possible, use room-temperature eggs. This helps them combine better with the other ingredients, ensuring a smoother batter.
➌ Do not overmix your batter. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Overmixing it can lead to a denser cake.
➍ If your Nutella is hard, microwave it for about 2 minutes, before adding in the egg.
➎ Let it cool slightly: Mug cakes can be hot right after microwaving, so let it cool for a minute before eating.
