A super simple cake recipe you can make with just a microwave.
Method
1. Mash the banana in a bowl with the oil and sugar.
2. Crack the egg and lightly whisk together with a fork.
3. Stir in the flour and baking powder and any added extras. If the mixture is very thick add some milk to loosen – it should be like a thick cake mixture.
4. Place half of the mixture into a mug and place in the microwave on approximately 50% power for 90 seconds. If it is still runny on the top pop back in for another 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook it.
