You will need:
4 tbsp self raising flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp nutella/ chocolate spread (optional, but makes the cake really moist)
Pinch of salt
Drop of vanilla extract
1 coffee mug

1. In your mug sift flour, add cocoa powder, salt and sugar and mix together.
2. To the mix, add milk and butter and mix well ensuring there is no lumps or flour pockets.
3. mix in nutella and vanilla extract.
4. Once mix is smooth put a blob of nutella on top of the mix. This will melt down and form a nice topping.

Once the cake has risen and a cocktail stick comes out clean the cake is done. This may take less time than 3 minutes.
6. Leave cake to cool slightly and enjoy by yourself or share if you are feeling generous.

Yum! This was the easiest mug cake I have made, and tasty although it needed the nutella or something extra. Mine only took just over 1 minute to cook though, and even a tiny bit of overcooking destroys microwave cake, so be warned!
I found the nutella mug cake to be really salty and not sweet enough... maybe I'll try again with adjustments. The texture was great though.
I had made this cake before and lost the recipe. Thanks for posting.
