Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Mashed ripe banana
- 3 tablespoons Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate chips (for sauce)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the mashed banana, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 3
Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips for added chocolatey goodness.
Step 4
Microwave the mug or bowl on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start checking at the 1-minute, 30-second mark by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 5
While the cake cooks, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
Step 6
Microwave the cream and chocolate chips for 20-30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate melts completely and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Step 7
Carefully remove the cake from the microwave and let it cool slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the cake and serve immediately. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sliced banana for added flair.
