90-second mile-high Nutella mug cake

Our food experts have reinvented the microwave mug cake. It's the only one you'll find that rises, oozes, tastes amazing and is gluten-free to boot. (But it also works with regular self-raising flour too. See note below.)

• 2 tablespoons gluten-free self-raising flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dutch cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 tablespoons Nutella
• Double cream or ice-cream, to serve
• Gluten-free chocolate sauce, to serve

1. Step 1

   Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder in a bowl.

2. Step 2

   Make a well in the centre and add the egg, milk and oil. Use electric beaters to beat until well combined.

3. Step 3

   Spoon into a 435ml (1 3/4 cup) mug. Spoon the Nutella into the centre. Microwave on High/1000watts/100% for 70 seconds or until risen. Top with double cream or ice-cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

For a non gluten-free version, use regular self-raising flour and reduce the cooking time to 60 seconds.
