Ingredients
Instructions
1. Mash the overripe banana in a medium microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
2. Whisk in the egg, dark brown sugar, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. In a separate small bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
5. Microwave on High for 90 seconds. Check the center and continue cooking in 20-second intervals until fully cooked. Cooking time is based on a 1200-watt microwave.
6. Top with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and chopped toasted nuts.
7. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for the sweetest flavor.
A 2-cup (16-ounce/480 ml) microwave-safe bowl prevents overflowing.
Do not overmix the batter or the cake may become dense.
Microwave wattages vary, so adjust cooking time as needed.
The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Customize with chocolate chips or chopped walnuts before cooking.
