Equipment

  • Microwave

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon + 1/4 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • Dash salt
  • Dash baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Dried Figs

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  •  In a mug, whisk together wet ingredients until smooth: oil, chocolate hazelnut spread, vanilla, and egg.
  • Stir dry ingredients into mug until combined. Then, just stir in the figs.
  • Microwave the mug cake for 2 minutes, checking at 1 minute and 1:30 to check doneness by touching the top of the cake which should lose the bulk of its glossiness.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt (like Maldon) on top before eating as is. To serve a la mode: add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or spoonful of plain yogurt.
