Serves
4
100g butter
2 eggs
1 cup Chelsea White Sugar
1 tsp of vanilla essence
1 cup of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1/4 cup of cocoa
Walnuts
In a medium sized bowl melt the butter on high for one minute. Stir in the egg, Chelsea White Sugar, and vanilla. Beat the mixture well. Stir in the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Use a sieve. Add some chopped nuts if you desire. Spread the mixture in a 20cm baking dish. Microwave on high for 5 - 7 minutes
I didn't like this cake. I over cooked it at 5 minutes. It became crusty and dry once cooled. It also didn't really have much flavor.
Cooked for only 5 mins in our 1100w microwave and still turned out hard and chewy. Was quick and easy to make, and tastes good, but will try for 3 mins next time.
Great recipe to whip up a cake quickly. Once I had to take two cakes to work for a morning tea and I had both made in the morning in 15 mins - amazing. Just used this recipe again to say Thanks to a neighbour for some fruit. Try it - you won't be disappointed.
One warning - Don't overcook it, or it will be dry. It took 7 mins in our old 800 watt microwave, and takes 5 mins in our new 1100 watt microwave.
Also - using baking paper in the tin, plus covering it with clingfilm during cooking helps retain moisture plus get it out more easily. Enjoy!
