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.
