  - Melt or mash the **chocolate/banana** into **chunks/puree**.
  - Crack in one egg and whisk to combine.
  - Add 15g of white (or brown) sugar (add more if you prefer it sweeter) (See Note 4).
  - Add 1g of salt (**adjust if your subsequent flavor ingredients already contain salt**).
  - Add 2.5g of baking powder.
  - Add 15g of flour (the type/grade of flour doesn't matter much).
  - **Add any flavor ingredients you like!** (Note: dry ingredients like nuts and cookies should not be added at this stage).
  - Stir until the batter reaches a thick yogurt consistency with no visible dry flour.
  - Top with optional dry ingredients (excluding instant powders).

## Additional Notes

- You can repeat the steps before giving yourself a pat on the back to make a larger cake.
- Baking powder is used to make the cake fluffy. Most varieties are aluminum-free and cost just a few dollars per pack; keep some on hand.
- During the step **Add any flavor ingredients you like!**, if you add **liquids** (such as milk), ensure you can still stir the mixture into a **thick yogurt consistency**. Add liquids in small amounts multiple times to prevent the final product from becoming too wet and dense.
- **Do not fill the container beyond 3/4!!**
