Serving Suggestion
Eat your hot microwave sponge cake before anybody else knows you made it!
The great thing about microwave cooking is it's instant gratification. If you're in a hurry, tired, just got in home late from work, then to nuke a meal is probably all you can manage! This is great comfort food too. Food with a feel-good factor, created from scratch, yet delivered to your plate in under 10 minutes is a great reason to buy a microwave in my opinion.
I hope you enjoy this. I know I do (far too often!)

Baking Tip: Use Silicone Dishes
I now use silicone baking trays for making cakes and bread. They're much easier to store and to wash up. Also, you don't have to grease them as your cakes and bread won't stick. Silicone bakeware dishes are microwave safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe and freezer safe... I find them brilliant.

Wow...this recipe is great!I love the fact that you can do it in the microwave...so easy yet so tasty ^^
I added a touch of cinnamon and vanilla to the mix-- turned out divine! The recipe was really easy. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks my first cake and so easy. Great
Lovely to taste and very easy to make, brilliant
Just made this after really wanted a cake type snack at 9pm and it was lovely, my husband and I enjoyed it loads. Will def be making more and will be experimenting with flavours etc :D
nooooooooooooooooo. not good. oven baking is the only way. it came out slightly anemic, plasticy and kinda like a omlette....should it really curve under the weight of a knife??
Try again Jay ... maybe you were unlucky. It might also be to do with: the wattage of your microwave, the shape of your dish and how little/much you mixed it.
You should be quite gentle when doing the mixing part, folding the flour in gently.
Good luck for next time!
Totally love this recipe, gonna use this everywhere i go.
avent
Love the recipe. It goes to show with a bit of help from a cheap microwave what you can do.
Yes, microwave cooking shouldn't be seen as the poor relation of oven cooking. With a bit of practice, tweaking and refining you can quite often produce better results than in an oven - and in a fraction of the time!
i am cooking mine in my microwave right now!!!!! its a nice recapie and i using silicone cases. looks tasty
We are going to use this recipe for our residents in our Care Home it should be very easy for them.......hope it's good!
hi
thank you so much.i used your recipe,and it was perfect.i like it.i have one question dat,if i want to make more amount of it,then should i add the ingredients by doubling the quantity?plz reply....
ok.let me try it i don't maybe its good.
i am like 14 yrs .
so my cakes they re like yummy & stuff.
let me try it.
bye
is this cake for 1 person or more?
if i were to use all purpose flour instead of self raising, should i add baking powder? if yes, how much ?
To Can't Bake: You should add about 1/2 tsp of baking soda when using all purpose flour.
To kick it up a notch, add a little lemon juice to the batter (1/2 tsp). And to really step it up, reduce a couple TBS. of Black Cherry preserve with 1/4 cup of red wine and then drizzle over the cake - it soaks in beautifully :)
it was yummmmmmmm. thanks 4 the recipe..
how many does it serve?
My mother loved it.Lovely to taste and very easy to make.
im cooking it now in the microwave im only 11 i like how its nice and simple
Could you use All-Purpose flour instead of Self-rising ?
All purpose flour, as it is known in the US, is called plain flour in the UK. Self-raising flour is different and includes a raising agent. If using all purpose flour, or plain flour, then you'd need to add in a half teaspoon or so of baking powder - or a raising agent.
Having said that, if you've nothing like that at all and you're hungry - why not just give it a go and accept it'll just be a bit flatter/stodgier than if you had the right flour .... with lashings of treacle or jam - and possibly topped with custard, I'm sure it'd be just as tasty if you're hungry :)
Absolutely delicious. i was worried it would turn out gooey or sticky but it was fantastic! the cake literally tasted like oven-cooked cake, crumbly, soft and bouncy. So quick and so easy!!
thank god i used quite a deep dish to cook the mixture in because the mixture rises double its original amount!!
i just made this cake and it turned
i made mini cupcakes with them and sprinkled chocolate stuff over it AND OMG IT'S SOOO GOOOD LOVE IT!
how many does it serve?
This quick & easy microwave cake will serve 1-2, it really depends how hungry you are.
It's only one egg and half a cup of flour, so it's not massive.
It's an ideal quick & easy microwave cake for somebody living alone, or who has a friend that's popped round for coffee! Certainly not birthday cake sized, for a party.
But play around with it, double the ingredients, try things out - see what you can make of it for your own needs.
UI tryed this a few times and it epically failed
once you get the hang of it, its brillant!!!!!!!
not so good :/
Yum!
Great cake! So easy!!!
Looking forward to trying it with lemon - this time i covered it in honey after cooking.
Am sure this cake will get me through uni!
can we add ghee or dalda instead of butter
