Microwave Cake

I got ths recipe in the cookery book that came as complimentary with my microwave oven. This is a very simple, easy to prepare, quick recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

¾ cup sugar (Better to use powdered sugar as the beating effort and time are minimal)

2 eggs (You may use ½ cup curd if you are a vegetarian)

½ cup butter

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp soda bi-carbonate

5 tbsp milk

2 tbsp cocoa powder

Method:

1. Beat eggs/curd, butter and sugar, till fluffy and creamy.
2. Mix flour, cocoa powder, soda-bi-carbonate and baking powder together.
3. Add the flour mixture to the beaten batter slowly.
4. Add milk and stir gradually.
5. The batter should be of a thin ribbon consistency.
6. Pour the batter into a greased round microwave safe dish.
7. The dish should be filled to atmost 3/4^th of its capacity to allow space for the cake to rise.
8. Microwave for 8 mins at 540ºC.
9. Leave the cake to stand for 5 mins.
10. Evenly spread chocolate sauce. Decorate with choco chips or grated chocolate or cherry or use your creative ideas.
11. I prefer to eat the cake after refrigerating it for a while.
