Tips For Making A Banana Mug Cake

Use an extra ripe banana

This is a banana mug cake so you want the banana flavours to be strong with that potent sweetness. Not only will it make the cake taste better but also, it will act as a vegan egg replacer.

Don't over cook

Every microwave is different. The cake will be ready when it no longer looks wet on top. If your cake is still wet after the recommended time, cook for a further 10 seconds at a time.

Mix the batter well

Make sure that there are no pockets of flour after your mix the ingredients before cooking. As this is a small mug cake, you will taste the flour you haven't mixed in when it's ready.

What Kind Of Mug Should I Use?

Use a wide mug if you have one. This allows the cake to rise easily and also and also cook evenly. You can also use wide baking ramekins for this recipe.

Customise This Recipe

• Add other fillings. I have added things such as chopped nuts and vegan white chips. There really are so many options.
