How to Make Microwave Applesauce Cake
- Preheat your microwave to 50% power.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (see ingredient list below).
- Blend on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.
- Grease an 8x8 inch glass square baking dish. Sprinkle the bottom evenly with graham cracker crumbs.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Microwave at 50% power for 6 minutes, rotating the dish a quarter turn every 3 minutes for even cooking.
- Increase the microwave power to high.
- Microwave for 2-5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (the top may appear slightly wet, this is normal).
- Let the cake stand in the dish for 5-10 minutes to cool before frosting.
- Frost with your favorite brown butter frosting (recipe not included).
