5 Minute Nutella Mug Cake - Holiday Special Recipe for Kids




I am sure most of the kids in India are enjoying their vacation to the maximum. Today I will share a recipe that even kids (8 and above) can make on their own in a microwave. But make sure you have someone elder around to watch you if you are aged between 8 -10. So go ahead, enjoy the cake in just 5 minutes. So why not surprise your parents and friends with this easy cake.

I was so glad to see my 9 year old son make this with ease. I often make this on sunday evenings when I crave for something chocolatey.  ☺

    1. Hi Nazreen

      The time taken to cook will differ depending on the wattage of the microwave. Mine is an ordinary one with no grill. It will take max 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Mug cakes are supposed to be the ones made in a jiffy. In case you are using an OTG it may take up to 12 - 15 minutes. I have never tried it in an OTG. :)
