A warm single-serve spiced apple cake made in the microwave in two mugs or ramekins. Top with whipped cream if you like.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup finely diced apple
  • ¼ cup melted butter (applesauce can replace it to reduce calories)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 pinch cloves
  • Milk or water as needed
  • Whipped cream optional

Directions

  • Blend everything except the apple until smooth. If it is too thick, add a splash of milk or water until it is about as thick as pancake batter.
  • Fold in the apple.
  • Split the batter between two well-greased large mugs or ramekins.
  • Microwave for 1½ to 2 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Add whipped cream on top if you like.
