Banana Mug Cake

I have been seeing mug cakes everywhere and finally found the time to try making some tonight.  I made two batches of the recipe in two individual mugs.  I baked them in the microwave at the same time and it did not alter the baking time at all.

Banana Mug Cake

Yields 1 large mug cake

Ingredients:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/2 overripe banana, mashed very well (about a quarter cup) - I used a banana that had previously been frozen
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp applesauce
1 tbsp almond milk (or your favourite non-dairy milk)
1 large egg yolk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 recipe icing sugar glaze
1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Directions:

In a mug whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  Add in banana, vegetable oil, applesauce, almond milk, egg yolk and vanilla.  Stir mixture, ensure it is well blended and you've mixed the flour at the bottom of the mug.  Microwave on high power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.  While cake is baking prepare the glaze.

Icing Sugar Glaze

1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp almond milk (or favourite non dairy milk)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Stir all ingredients in a measuring cup.  If you desire a thicker consistency you may require more sugar, for a less thick consistency add more milk.  When cake is done pour over cake and add walnuts or pecans if desired.
