Tips & Tricks

  1. Use an overripe banana for a sweeter and more flavorful cake.

  2. You can substitute plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy for regular milk.

  3. Neutral oils like sunflower, canola, or melted coconut oil work best. Avoid strong-flavored oils like olive oil.

  4. If you don't have chocolate chips, chop up a small piece of chocolate and use that instead.

  5. If the cake is still gooey in the middle after microwaving, heat it for an additional 10 seconds, but avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.

FAQS

  1. Can I use plant-based milk?

    Yes, almond, oat, or soy milk works perfectly in this recipe.

  2. What type of oil is best for this recipe?

    Neutral oils like sunflower, canola, or melted coconut oil are ideal. Avoid strong-flavored oils like olive oil.

  3. Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

  4. What if I don’t have chocolate chips?

    You can chop up a small piece of chocolate and use that instead.

  5. Why do I need both baking powder and baking soda?
