Chocolate Banana Mug Cake recipe that only takes 2 minutes in the microwave to make. You won’t believe how fudgy this cake is!
Mug cakes are great because they are fast and small serving (either single or double). This Chocolate Banana Mug Cake recipe makes 2 so I will share or I make it for breakfast one morning and have it for the next morning as well. If you’re saving the second cake, make sure to heat it up in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before eating.
Banana Mug Cake Recipe
It’s going to get all ooey gooey chocolaty in the middle and you’re going to fall in love. Believe me. On lazy mornings I will eat it directly out of the mug, bu sometimes I like to get all fancy and push it out of the mug onto a plate.
This is also great because if you’re having guests over you can very quickly make up a few cakes and throw them on a plate. Pour some chocolate on top (I used white chocolate) and everyone will ooooh and ahhhh them while thinking you were baking all morning.
Go ahead, make this Chocolate Banana Mug Cake. I’m positive you will love it! Enjoy!

I’ve still yet to try making a mug cake, but I’m thinking I totally need to after this… baking a cake and having to wait all that time is just way too much for my lack of patience… but having cake in 2 minutes?!?!?! Heck yes!

I want, I want, I want, I want, I waaaaant! 🙂
Delicious and a great way for me to use up my frozen bananas, had planned on banana bread, but this mug cake is way cooler.

Oh my goodness Pamela, I’m sitting here at nearly bedtime and I thin I’m going to jump up and make this after I’ve posted this comment. You have given me such a craving for it now!!
Amy @ Elephant Eats says
Uh oh, it’s dangerous having a microwave recipe for cake! I love chocolate banana…and always have frozen bananas. Will have to give it a try!
Aimee says
You got me with “made in 2 minutes”! Simple and easy is great for a lazy cook like me. 🙂

These look so good! I love mug cakes, but I definitely agree that they can be hit-or-miss a lot of the time. This sounds like the perfect marriage of chocolate cake and banana bread. I can’t wait to try!
Matt @ Plating Pixels says
Wow! I’ve never made any mug desserts but you can’t beat a 2 minute chocolate molten cake. Perfect for those nights you want dessert but don’t feel like baking. I freeze bananas all the time for breakfast smoothies as well. Another tip is to peel and break in pieces before freezing. It’s much easier for grabbing whateve
Ashley says
I’ve only ever tried one mug cake and the recipe wasn’t so hot – wayyyy too dry! I need to give them another shot! This looks delicious!
Natalie @ Obsessive Cooking Disorder says
Wow this looks so simple yet delicious! I have way too many “banana slugs” I need to clean out from my freezer haha – my family things it’s awful but they’re so ripe and yummy in baked goods!

You are a smart lady; using a ripe banana for a mug cake makes perfect sense. And I do know that feeling you described and it’s so great when it turns out so well!

Oh YUM. I love this! All the other mug cakes I see are made from a boxed mix. I’m excited to find one that is from scratch and actually pretty healthy! Thanks, Pamela!
