Notes
To reduce calories, the oil can be replaced with applesauce. Using applesauce, the calories will be about 460.
Don't over-mix the batter: Over-mixing can make your cake tough and chewy, so mix until everything is combined. A few lumps are okay; they will disappear while cooking.
Adjust cooking time: Every microwave has different wattage settings so the ideal cooking time may vary. Start with one minute of cook time on high power and adjust accordingly.
