When it’s 90 degrees outside, and you don’t want to turn on your oven, but you really want coffee cake, you can make this Apple Streusel Microwave Mayonnaise Coffee Cake.
Put the apples in a microwave-safe bowl with the spices and butter. Microwave for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Apples ready to microwave
Put the ingredients for the cake in a large bowl. Mix with a mixer until all is well blended, about 2 minutes on high. Set aside.
Put the streusel topping into a small food processor, and process until you have a sandy mixture.
Grease a large microwave-safe baking dish – the inside of a Crockpot works beautifully.
Pour half of the batter into the dish, then put in the apple mixture, then the rest of the batter. Finally, sprinkle the streusel on the top.
Apple Streusel Microwave Mayonnaise Coffee Cake Batter
Put in the microwave, and cook on high for 7 minutes. Check to see how done it is by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. Keep microwaving it until the toothpick comes out clean and the cake has separated from the sides of the pan.

Notes
Quick notes
Microwave cake is denser than regular cake but just as delicious. Note there is no salt in this recipe. Mayonnaise already has salt. The cayenne gives just a tiny kick to the apples. If you don’t want that, then omit it.
