👩🍳 Step-by-Step Method
1️⃣ Mash the Banana
In a microwave-safe bowl or mug, mash the banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth and lump-free.
2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients
Add egg, milk, oil (or butter), sugar, and vanilla essence.
Mix well until fully combined.
3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients
Add flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently mix until smooth.
Do not overmix (it can make the cake rubbery).
4️⃣ Microwave
Microwave on high power for 2½ to 3 minutes.
Check with a toothpick — if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
If needed, microwave for an additional 20–30 seconds.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
Let it rest for 1 minute.
Enjoy warm straight from the mug or remove and top with chocolate syrup, nuts, or powdered sugar.

💡 Tips for Best Results
Use a ripe banana with brown spots for natural sweetness.
Don’t overcook — microwave cakes continue cooking slightly after removal.
Use a large mug or bowl (the batter rises!).
