Microwave Applesauce Cake

Haven't decided what to do with our oven. Call someone and see if he can fix it, but if he can't we'll still have to pay him for his time...or just buy a new oven. The cheapest I've found is around $300, just a plain ol' oven with no frills and it won't clean itself, but it'll bake and that's the most important thing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll see something at the after-Thanksgiving sales. So, in the meantime I tried making microwave cake. It was OK, I don't think I'll try this recipe again. Couldn't really taste the applesauce and it had this strange taste. And then it was kinda rubbery, which is a microwave trait. The kids ate it and they didn't say EWWWW but I was a little disappointed. I think I might try the microwave chocolate cake. Can't mess up chocolate, can you? We'll see...
