2-minute Eggless vanilla cake

I had half an hour in hand, to meet my dearest friend who got married recently. I had to rush up as she was leaving to her in-law's place soon. But still I wanted to make something special for the newly wed couple. So I had to make something special, get ready and be at her home within half an hour. Is that possible?? Ofcourse it is, when you have a microwave at home! Whip up this spongy cake in just 2 minutes and surprise your dear ones. I inspired this recipe from my previous mug cake experiments!



INGREDIENTS:
  • All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
  • Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Milk - 2 tablespoons
  • Baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Hot water - 1/4 cup
  • Sugar - 1/3 to 1/2 cup (depending on how sweet you want your cake to be)
  • Melted butter - 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Strawberry emulsion - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)


METHOD:
  1. Sieve the flour and baking powder. Keep aside
  2. Mix milk and baking soda together. Keep aside
  3. Mix hot water, sugar and butter together
  4. Mix all the three mixtures together and add vanilla essence and strawberry emulsion(if adding)
  5. Pour the batter into a greased glass bowl or any microwave safe baking dish (I used microwave safe silicon moulds. Isn't the butterfly cute? :) ). Make sure to pour only till half of the mould/dish that you are using, as this cake rises high and fluffs up
  6. Microwave on high for 1 and a half to 2 minutes. Each microwave power varies. Mine took exactly 1.5 minutes. Keep an eye after 1 minute and switch off accordingly
  7. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes and then demould
  8. You can top it with powdered sugar/ nutella/chocolate sauce or any frosting of your choice
  9. Enjoy it when it is warm!
