Recipe Notes

To not overcook this cake, cook for 1 minute then stop and see if it's set. If not, continue cooking on high in 15 second increments until set.

All the mashed mandarin orange pieces sink to the bottom, so if you lightly peel the cake away from the sides of the mug with a fork, it should drop out onto a small plate with the bottom on top. I think this makes a nicer presentation!

Variations

No mandarin oranges? Choose 2 tablespoons of any canned fruit with juice. Pineapple, Peaches, Pears, Fruit Cocktail would all be delicious.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy this naturally fat-free dessert, plain or topped with a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of your favorite low-fat frozen yogurt or ice cream.
