Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mug
Gather a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of at least 350 ml to ensure the batter has enough space to rise.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In the mug, add 2 ripe mashed bananas, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mug. Mix until there are no lumps.
Step 4: Incorporate Milk
Pour in 2 tablespoons of milk into the mixture. Stir well to achieve a smooth batter.
Step 5: Flavor Enhancement
(Optional) Stir in a few drops of vanilla extract and/or add chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
Step 6: Microwave the Mug Cake
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflowing.
Step 7: Check for Doneness
After 1 minute and 30 seconds, check the mug cake. If it looks firm and springs back when touched, it is done. If not, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until fully cooked.
Step 8: Cool Down and Serve
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Allow the cake to cool for a minute before enjoying it directly from the mug.

Note 3: Serving Suggestions
Top the mug cake with whipped cream, nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat.

This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a day. Reheat before serving.
