Microwave Cake

I've been reading a lot lately about microwave protein cakes that you can make on some of the blogs that I read (like this one)...I tried one yesterday that was OK, but I varied it a little today to try and it was delicious!  I've included the nutritional info and wow...does it satisfy my need for pastry/dessert!  Yum!

HW's Microwave Cake

1 T whole wheat flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 packet of Truvia (or stevia to your taste)
dribble of vanilla
pinch salt
cinnamon (desired amount to your taste)

(combine ingredients in a microwave save mug sprayed with a bit of cooking spray)
Add:
2 1/2 T unsweetened applesauce
4 T egg whites

(Combine and microwave for 2 minutes on high) invert on a plate or eat in the mug after allowing to cool for several minutes.

I added a wedge of trader joes dark chocolate which adds 35 cal and 2.25 grams of fat but makes the cake turn into a molten lava cake (it gets all melty and fabulous)! A squirt of whipped cream would be a great add too, but then the calories start adding up, so decide how you want to spend them! :)
