Top tips for the best mug cake

  • Use soft margarine as it is much easier to mix.
  • Use a large mug to stop the mixture from overflowing.
  • To make it gluten free friendly, use a gluten free flour available from most major supermarkets.
  • The above recipe was made in a 900W microwave. If yours is less powerful, you may want to increase the cooking time by 30 seconds.
  • If you can, use an overripe banana as it is naturally sweeter and easier to mash.
  • Add the flour last when making your cake as it is much easier to mix. If you don’t you run the risk of flour sticking to the bottom of the mug.
  • Any sugar works in this recipe including caster, granulated and coconut.
  • If you haven’t got self raising flour, use plain flour plus 1/2 tsp baking powder.
  • Mugcakes are best eaten straight away rather than leaving later or the following day.
