For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have wheat germ, you can substitute with an equal amount of additional whole wheat flour. Adjust the microwave time based on your microwave's power. Keep a close eye on the cake to prevent it from becoming dry. Add a sprinkle of chopped crystallized ginger on top of the icing for extra ginger flavor and texture.

Jun 28, 2025I was skeptical about microwaving a cake, but this turned out surprisingly well. I used regular flour because I didn't have whole wheat, and it was still delicious!
