Start with a large microwave-safe mug.
Add all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder to the mug. Mix well using a fork or spoon, breaking down any lumps for a smooth, even batter.
Pour in the milk, coconut oil, and vanilla essence. Add the desiccated coconut and stir everything until it forms a smooth, thick batter.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute. Keep an eye on it starting at 50 seconds, as microwave power may vary. The cake should rise and look cooked on top.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave, as it will be hot. Spread a generous spoon of Nutella over the warm cake.
Sprinkle extra desiccated coconut on top for garnish and enjoy your Bounty Bar Mug Cake!
Make sure to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
Microwave times may vary, so start checking the cake at 50 seconds to prevent overcooking.
For an extra indulgent touch, add a few chocolate chips to the batter before microwaving.
Use a large mug to prevent the batter from overflowing while cooking.
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use any type of milk, including dairy-free options like almond or oat milk.
What can I use instead of coconut oil?
You can substitute coconut oil with melted butter or any neutral-flavored oil.
How do I know if the mug cake is done?
The cake should rise and look cooked on top. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Can I skip the Nutella topping?
Yes, the Nutella is optional, but it adds a delicious gooey texture and flavor to the mug cake.
Can I make this mug cake ahead of time?
This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh and warm, as it may dry out if stored for later.
