Recipe Notes
If you don't have Justin's, Nutella would be a great substitute.
I’ll take one!
I have seen so many mug cakes lately on Pinterest….I’m convinced fully of how good they are after seeing this.
And…EASY. Microwave. love it.
HOLY CRAP that looks good! I’m making this over the weekend when my mom comes. She LOVES hazelnut so much that I made sure to have a bottle of Frangelico ready … hmm … I wonder what it would taste like if I added that to it. :)
I need this. Think it would work with regular pb?
Yeah, give it a shot! You might want to increase the sugar a bit b/c the Justin’s butter definitely has some in it and pb doesn’t.
Genius! I wonder if I can figure out a way to work in some of that TJ’s cookie butter…
I just used TJ’s Cookie Butter and it is PERFECT!!!
simply mind-blowing.
this is the greatest thing i’ve ever seen
This looks delicious!! I loooove hazelnut, sounds perfect for me!
I had no idea you could “bake” a cake in the microwave! I’ll definitely be trying this out.
HOLY cow– that looks so good! Can’t believe how easy it is to make, and I usually have all those ingredients right on hand!
I am drooling. Mike is drooling. We don’t have all of the ingredients but be certain that we will by Sunday. WOW!!!!!
Haha, enjoy when you do make it! Thanks for the tweet ;)
I’ll take two… two please!
WOAH WOAH AND WOAH. This looks ahhhmazing. Cake in 2 minutes? YES please
Are you sure? In just 5 minutes? I have to try this out…Not tomorrow, not later, but right now! Thanks for the post! You rock!
That mug cake thingy looks delish. I am going to try and veganize it and substitute the milk for almond milk…YUM!
I followed your recipe for chocolate hazelnut mug cake and found them delicious. Got anything for apple pie :)
Ellie
Yay, so glad you liked it! I haven’t tried anything with apples yet in the mug cake department but there is a good apple cake recipe on my recipe page that’s pretty simple and seriously delicious!
Oh my goodness this looks incredible! Where can I find myself some Justins?
I found it at my local health food/wannabe Whole Foods store. I think I’ve seen it in some “progressive” grocery stores though. There’s always online and nutella would be a fine substitute, same flavor profile.

Tasty but kind of a weird texture.
Mug cakes usually are. Add 2 Tbsp of beaten egg (I freeze 2T at a time in ice cube trays) for a better texture.

oh my, even this looks so delicious. i have never bought Justin’s butters, although I see them at my grocery store. Is it one of the best? If so, I’ll definitely consider it. :-)
It’s definitely good, but Nutella is a perfect substitute as well!
Nutella soooooo much sugar!!! Try Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams instead!!
Yep, that’s a great option too!

Looks and sounds great my only wish is that the recipes included the nutritional facts.
The language used under the picture was offensive and I will not use your website in the future.
Haha. Well then, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know. If a bleeped out curse word online is offensive, I kind of feel sorry for you.

Terrible. Tastes surprisingly bland and has a lot of calories. A waste of good chocolate hazelnut spread.
I’m terrible sorry as far as its good looks I have to agree with Jennifer. I got the same results with her – bland and a lot of calories; about more than 350! It needs a little tweaking such as less vegetable oil (about more than a third of the calories is from the oil; A tbsp of it is 120, so the recipe calls for 180 kcal of oil!) Tweaking might improve it? Such as less oil, a little bit more of sugar and/or more chocolate.
This was terrible! Sorry, but it was not at all good. It was so bland and way too moist. Don’t make this.
Thanks for sharing how it tastes. I will continue my search in hope to find an easy mug cake recipe that makes good cakes too.
I used gluten free brown rice flour as a substitute, and am enjoying every bite!
