Microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until done. Add a topping, if desired, and garnish with the remainder of the banana (sliced) and chopped nuts (if desired).
1 tbsp canned icing, 1 tbsp peanut butter, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, caramel

Notes

If I'm using a topping, I like to put it on the warm cake so that it melts into the cake.
Bananas vary in size, which can mean one cake may end up with more liquid than the other. This is why there is a variance in the amount of flour. If your batter is runnier than typical cake batter, add an additional tablespoon of flour before cooking.
Toppings such as whipped cream, caramel, or chocolate sauce were not included in the calorie count as they are optional.
