Method

  • 1. Whisk flour, sugar, oil, carrot, spice and egg in a 1½ cup microwave-safe mug (see tips).

  • 2. Microwave on medium (50%) for 1½ minutes, or until cake is cooked when a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes.

  • 3. Serve topped with ice-cream, caramel sauce and pecans.

  • Tips:

  • - Ensure you use a microwave-safe mug. We used 1½-cup capacity, straight-sided mugs that were 9cm high and 8cm (top measurement) in diameter.

  • - Be careful not to cook longer than specified, as cakes will continue to cook while standing.
