Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Salt pinch
3 tablespoons milk

In a 10-ounce or larger microwave-safe mug, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a fork until combined.
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, Salt
Pour the milk and 3 tablespoons of Nutella into the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir well with your fork until the batter is completely smooth and no flour lumps remain, but be careful not to overmix it.
3 tablespoons milk, 4 tablespoons Nutella
Add 1 tablespoon of Nutella to the center of the batter without stirring.
Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds. Stop when edges pull away and the center looks slightly glossy.
Let it rest for 2 minutes before eating. Serve once slightly cooled but still warm and gooey.

Notes

Use a 10-ounce or larger microwave-safe mug so the batter has room to rise without spilling over. A deeper mug works better than a wide, shallow one.
Microwave times vary by wattage, so start checking at 60 seconds. Stop early if needed, since slightly underbaked gives the best soft and gooey texture.
