Microwave Sponge Cake

Posted on November 7, 2020 Posted in Cakes .

Watermelon Daiquiri Cake with Ermine Frosting

I do a loooot of baking, and quite a lot of my recipes include sponge cake as a layer. I have previously shared my never fail amazing sponge cake recipe but let’s face it, sometimes I have limited time to whip up this element in a bake and need a quick fluffy alternative (and paying $5 at the supermarket feels like big wasted money).

This got me thinking of coming up with a super fluffy, easy and tasty sponge recipe that I could whip up and cook in seconds saving me 20 minutes per future bake.

Therefore, coming up with a microwave sponge cake recipe would be super helpful, but could it be done?

After 4 experiments, a lot of time trailing and dish sizes I landed on the below recipe in which has worked 3 times in a row perfectly.

A great secret recipe that involves no oven and saves you on baking time and money!

Ingredients:

  • 50g butter, softened
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsn milk
  • ¼ tsn vanilla essence
  • 50g self-raising flour

 

Method:

  1. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with electric beaters until fluffy and pale.
  2. Add the egg and beat until creamy.
  3. Add the milk and vanilla and beat until well combined and silky smooth.
  4. Add the flour and beat on a low setting with electric beaters for 30 seconds or until just combined.
  5. Spray a microwave safe glass/plastic bowl/silicon 20cm x 10cm baking dish with oil spray.
  6. Pour the mix into the dish, allowing for the dish to be half full or less (the mix will significantly rise).
  7. Use the back on a spoon to evenly distribute the mix in the dish.
  8. Top the dish with plastic wrap and poke holes in the wrap with a skewer to allow the steam to escape.
  9. Cook the cake in the microwave on high for 90 seconds.
  10. Remove from the microwave and place the dish aside to completely cool.
  11. Once cooled invert the dish onto a chopping board and cut in half vertically, making 2 even 10cm x 10cm cake halves.
  12. Place one layer on a plate and top with your favourite filling followed by the 2nd cake layer,  Enjoy.
