Start the preparation of the Nutella mug cake by mixing the spread and the egg in a bowl.
Sift and mix the powders (flour, cocoa, and baking powder) and add them to the Nutella and egg mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring between each addition.
Divide the mixture into 4 coffee cups of about 2 oz (60ml) each or pour it into a tea or American coffee mug.
Cook the Nutella mug cake in the microwave at about 700-750W for one minute.

Tips: This recipe doesn’t include sugar because Nutella is already quite sweet on its own; if you use a less sweet spread, add a tablespoon of sugar.
