I had a hankering for chocolate yesterday, but no energy to whip up cake or cookies or anything else, so I did the next best thing, I made cake in the microwave!
This cake is simple, delicious and only takes 3 minutes start to finish. You’ll want to make it over and over again (I may or may not have made 2 of these in a row).
Add a scoop of your favourite vegan ice cream on top, and you’ll be blown away!

Is it supposed to be 2.5 Tablespoons of oil instead of teaspoons?
No, teaspoons.
Can you taste the OJ in the finished cake?
A little bit, but it’s very faint.
This recipe has almost 6 Tbsp of dry ingredients to almost 2 Tbsp of wet ingredients. Predictably when I attempted to mix , a batter couldn’t be formed. It was thick, barely even a dough.I had to add about 2 Tbsp of water to make it remotely batter like,presumably even milk or more juice works but it definitely needs more liquid.
