Chocolate Banana Cake Mug

October 19, 2015 18 Comments
This is fun. With four ingredients that you probably have in your pantry right now – you can make cake!
I like my cake in slices (preferably with lots of frosting) so I wasn’t sure I was going to like this. But I had all of the ingredients and it takes less than 4 minutes from start to finish. No risk!
(I was a little disappointed that I had to use a bowl AND a mug because I don’t like to clean up.)
Guess what? This tastes pretty good. I liked it so much that I scarfed it down after I had just eaten breakfast. Cake for breakfast? Why not if it is only a banana, egg, cocoa powder, and sugar. I'm doing much better than if I had a bowl of Lucky Charms.
The downside here is for the banana haters out there. This does taste like bananas. I will keep working on this concept if it is well received because not only is it easy, but it is fun to turn out a cake in 3 minutes.

Have you tried making cake in a mug? Please share.
