Chocolate Lava Mug Cake - Little Sunny Kitchen

Prep Time 2

Cook Time 1

Total Time 3

In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana using a fork.
Add the flour, salt, sugar, cocoa powder, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and vegetable oil into the mug. Thoroughly whisk all the ingredients together with the fork until they are well combined.
Place the mug in the microwave and heat at 700 watts for 60 seconds. Monitor the cooking process and stop when the cake edges are set, but the center is slightly wet and shiny. Be cautious not to overcook to maintain the lava-like center. Microwave times may vary.

Add-Ins: Enhance the flavor and texture by including optional ingredients such as nuts, caramel, or chocolate chips.
Toppings: Top the mug cake with fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or raspberries, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an added indulgence.
Banana Substitute: In the absence of a banana, you can use ¼ cup of applesauce or 1 egg instead. Note: if using an egg, ensure the cake is fully baked.
Layering with Melted Chocolate (when using an egg): Create layers in the mug by alternating between the cake batter, melted chocolate, and remaining batter.

Remember to always check your microwave's power and adjust the cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
