Microwave cooking times vary widely so the cake needs to be watched all the time as it cooks. Depending on your microwave it could be ready in 90 seconds or it could take 3 minutes.
Preparation steps
1.
Lightly grease two large microwaveable mugs.
2.
Stir together the flour, sugar, spice, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
3.
Whisk together the egg and vanilla until blended, then whisk in the oil and orange juice.
4.
Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently stir in the carrots.
5.
Spoon into the mugs and microwave, one at a time, on high for 1.5 - 3 minutes until cooked through. Leave to cool completely.
6.
For the icing: sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice to make a smooth, thick icing.
7.
Place a star shaped stencil on each cake and spoon on the icing, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with orange zest and leave to set.
