Just for the record, I am crazy about chocolates & nutella. So, when I made this nutella mug cake, I was more than happy, for this cake is a "delicious" mix of both. The cake is super addictive and if not for single serving, my sugars would have shot up roof high!! In a way, this "single-serve" mug cake is a perfect fix for your everyday sugar rush!
When I made this cake for the first time, my daughter thought the cake was magic and looked at me like I was some magician!! She just couldn't believe that I whipped up the cake so quick, in matter of minutes. The cake was so irresistible that even VJ was asking for seconds, though he is not a big fan of nutella!
You don't need an elaborate set of ingredients, a conventional oven or anything. Just a few spoonfuls of ingredients, a mug and a microwave for a warm, soft, dense, not too-sweet, rightly portioned cake - the best treat ever on a cold winter evening!!

For vegan options, you could replace regular milk with almond milk / soy milk. Just incase you are not a fan of nutella, go ahead and replace it with peanut butter / almond butter. The cake tastes equally yummy with these replacements as well!!

Notes
- Replace white sugar with brown sugar or other sugar alternatives.
- Make sure you have double the amount of space as that of cake batter for the cake to expand.
- Wash the mug/cup inside-out before pouring the cake batter, for the moisture keeps the cake from sticking to the sides of the mug.
