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:
- Sieve the flour and baking powder. Keep aside
- Mix milk and baking soda together. Keep aside
- Mix hot water, sugar and butter together
- Mix all the three mixtures together and add vanilla essence and strawberry emulsion(if adding)
- 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
- 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
- Allow it to cool for 10 minutes and then demould
- You can top it with powdered sugar/ nutella/chocolate sauce or any frosting of your choice
- Enjoy it when it is warm!
