Here’s a quick and easy recipe for a banana cake that you can make in just 5 minutes using the microwave!
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon milk (if needed for consistency)
Instructions:
- Mash the Banana: In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth.
- Mix the Ingredients: Add flour, baking powder, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed banana. Stir everything together until well combined. If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk.
- Microwave: Microwave the batter on high for 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. Start with 1 minute, then check the cake. If it’s not done, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until fully cooked. The cake should rise and feel firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying. You can also add frosting or fruit on top if you like!
