Recipe Tips
- If you like your mug cakes slightly gooey in the middle, then reduce the cooking time slightly.
- For the best results use an overripe banana.
- Add a drop of vanilla extract for a bit of extra flavor.
- You can make this banana cake gluten-free by replacing the flour and baking powder with gluten-free variants.
- Mug cakes can make a mess in your microwave so keep an eye on it. Placing a plate under the mug will make cleaning up easier if it does end up overflowing.
- Use a skewer to ensure that the middle is fully cooked. The skewer should come out clean. This step is essential if you can't eat any undercooked egg.
