Five Minute Nutella Cake for Two

This five-minute Nutella cake for two is perfect for your next date night in.

I’m sharing this Five Minute Nutella Cake for Two today with Valentine’s Day in mind but this cake shouldn’t be limited by Cupid. It’s the perfect ending for any date night, no matter the time of year. It is so fool-proof that even if your guy is less than skilled in the kitchen he should still be able to make it. I found the original recipe HERE and it is a keeper! And guys, if you can make a cake, you might be considered a keeper too.

Believe me, I would not judge eating this chocolatey, Nutella-ey, ooey-gooey cake all by yourself. It is certainly possible. But add a big scoop of ice cream on top and this cake is a whole lot of treat! Warm chocolate cake, velvety Nutella center, sweet and melty ice cream on top… it’s a pretty sweet end to any night, date or not.

There are no special kitchen gadgets required to make this decadent dessert. A simple fork stirs together the dry ingredients with the wet. Dump the batter into a mug (a soup bowl works too), add a generous scoop of Nutella and microwave for 75 – 90 seconds. That’s all that is required for chocolatey Nutella cake perfection. I topped mine with hazelnut gelato and heart sprinkles. Other good ice cream flavors might be coffee, vanilla bean, cherry or chocolate. You and your date are going to love this Nutella cake!
