It is my birthday. I love my birthday. I am not one to shy away from the number I have grown to, I worked hard to get through each one of those years. I embrace the joy I get from remembering years, friends, and adventures I've had and I look forward to more.
So, in celebration of finishing my 53rd year and embarking on my 54th I made myself a Nutella Mug Cake for Mug Cake Monday. It was a sweet gift I made for myself.
Nutella Mug Cake

1/4 cup Nutella

In a large mug, combine the butter and Nutella. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until melted. Whisk in the egg with a fork. Stir in the milk, vanilla, and sugar. Add the flour and salt. eat the batter until smooth. Fold in the hazelnuts. Divide the batter between two mugs. Microwave separately for 1.5 to 2.5 minutes each until risen and firm. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a whole hazelnut when cool.
