Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)
  • 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or oil
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg (optional, for extra fluffiness)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped nuts
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Batter

  1. In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
  2. Add condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg (if using). Mix well.
  3. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts (if using).

Step 2: Microwave & Cook

  1. Pour batter into a greased microwave-safe ramekin or mug (about 10-12 oz size).
  2. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes (time varies by microwave). Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 3: Cool & Serve

  1. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes (it will firm up as it cools).
  2. Enjoy warm as-is, or top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or extra banana slices!

Tips for the Best Microwave Cake

🔹 Don’t Overmix – Stir until just combined for a tender texture.
🔹 Adjust Sweetness – Reduce condensed milk slightly if your banana is very ripe.
🔹 No Egg? Replace with 1 tbsp milk or yogurt for binding.

Serving Suggestions

  • Top with vanilla ice cream for a quick dessert.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for extra warmth.
