Instructions
Mug Cake
In a small mixing bowl, or the microwave-safemug itself, mash your browned banana until relatively smooth.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 tablespoon milk, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla.
Measure in the brown sugar, baking powder, and pinch of salt, stir to combine. Add the all-purpose flour then stir until just combined.
Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stopping at the 2 minute mark to check how done the cake is (it may take less than 3 minutes *see note).
Let the cake set in the microwave to cool for at least 1 minute before eating, or while you make the glaze.
NOTE! Your coffee mug needs to be larger than an 8-10 ounce mug to fit the entire batch of batter. Use a large mug or small bowl to microwave your mug cake in.
Notes
A pinch of salt is roughly 1/16th of a teaspoon. A pinch of cinnamon would also be great in this easy microwave mug cake.
Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the model of your microwave.
The more evenly shaped (less tapered) your coffee mug or small bowl, is the easier your cake will cook evenly and quickly.
Check your cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If no wet batter is left on the toothpick, it's ready! The cake should also be springy to the touch (but don't burn your fingertips!).
Storing: Mug cakes are best fresh but they are also delicious cold. If you decide to refrigerate extra or any leftovers, place them in an airtight container for 2-3 days. No need to reheat!
