For Greasing
Instructions
Step 1
Start by taking the ripe banana and mashing it well using a fork until smooth.
Then, in the same bowl, add the egg, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix all the ingredients together until they are completely combined and form a smooth batter.
Step 2
Before cooking, take some butter and grease your molds thoroughly to prevent sticking. This is an important step!
Step 3
Pour the prepared batter into the greased molds, filling them about halfway. Place the molds in the microwave and cook on maximum power for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Once the time is up, carefully remove the molds from the microwave and allow them to cool for a few minutes. To serve, decorate your cake with fresh berries and, if desired, dust them lightly with powdered sugar. Enjoy your delicious treat!
Servings
When it comes time to serve, consider fresh berries on top for a burst of color and flavor. 🍓 You can dust your chocolate banana mug cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for that touch of elegance. If you want to add a layer of creaminess, a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream can elevate your dessert to another level! 🍦
Don’t forget, this mug cake is perfect for sharing! Enjoy it at a picnic 🌳 with friends or surprise your family during movie night with quick, fun desserts that everyone will love, especially the kids!
Each bite will make you feel cozy and happy, transporting you to a world where dessert is always within arm's reach! YUM! 😋
Equipment
Ensure you choose a sturdy mug that can withstand high temperatures. Look for ones labeled "microwave-safe" to avoid cracks or explosions!
A simple fork is key to mashing that banana and mixing your ingredients thoroughly. Make sure it’s strong enough to mash without bending!

Variations
Gluten-Free & Vegan Alternatives: If you’re looking for gluten-free options, this recipe is already on your side! Use a gluten-free baking powder to ensure it meets your dietary needs. 🌾
For a vegan version, swap the egg for ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). This simple swap keeps your dessert just as delicious while catering to a vegan lifestyle! 🥑
Faq
- Can I use a different type of sweetener?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute granulated sugar with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener. Just keep in mind that liquid sweeteners may require a slight adjustment in the quantity.
- Why is my mug cake not rising?
Make sure you’re using fresh baking powder and check that your microwave is set to the highest power. Also, don’t overmix your batter; gentle handling is key!
- Can I add chocolate chips to my mug cake?
Yes! Toss in a tablespoon of chocolate chips before microwaving for a gooey treat that'll delight any chocolate lover!
- How can I make my mug cake more moist?
Adding a splash of milk or a teaspoon of oil can enhance the moisture. Just be careful not to overdo it - a little goes a long way!
- Can I make this recipe in advance?
This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh from the microwave. However, you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance for a quicker assemble when cravings hit!
- How do I reheat leftovers?
If there are any leftovers (doubtful!), simply pop it back in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to warm it up. Enjoy!
