I have to admit I was skeptical of cake in the microwave, but this turned out great. It is a moist cake similar to the way a self-saucing pudding cake turns out (without the sauce). I made exactly as written. The spices were just right. Delicious served very warm (I only cooled about 5 minutes) with some ice cream. Like a brownie sundae! Made for Spring 2010 PAC.

Wow!!! How quick is this cake? I made this as written, but instead of a 4 cup dish, I used to ramkins, that I buttered before pouring in the batter, then I cooked for 2 minutes on high and that worked perfectly!! The only other change I made was to use 1 1/4 teaspoons of both ginger and cinnamon. Next time I would use 1 tsp of ginger and 1 1/2 of the cinnamon, as this was quite spicy for a cake. Thanks for sharing the quick dessert recipe!!! Made for 123 Tag Game.

A nice cake with a few adjustments. Made twice, the first time made as written and cooked in a 16 oz. mug. The top and middle were done and the bottom was cooked but wet (over steamed). We also thought the flavor was a little off the first time. As written the cake was only a three star. The second time increased the spice using 1/16 teaspoon of both nutmeg and cloves. Also increased the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon. Next cooked in a 4 cup bowl for three minutes. Those few changes brought this up to a four star as they greatly improved the flavor and texture. This cake is just ok eaten alone, it really dose need some whipped cream or a sauce drizzled over it.
