MethodAll in One Cake Mixture:Just like the name, all the ingredients are added at once. Makes one 18cm cake. This is great if you need a cake in a hurry - if you don't have time to let it cool sprinkle icing sugar on top and serve warm. If it is cool, split in half and fill with chocolate butter cream icing , then spread some more on top. Method: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together using a wooden spoon or electric hand mixer. Spoon into a lightly greased microwave safe dish and level the top. A china casserole dish, glass dish or a soufflé dish are all ideal or indeed a microwave cake dish! Microwave on full power for 7 minutes Allow to stand for 1 minute Turn out and allow to cool. Decorate as required Cook's Note: This cake can be made in a food processor The sponge makes an excellent base for a chocolate trifle The recipe was tested in a 900w microwave, adjust cooking times to suit wattage of microwave being used. | |||||||||||||||||||
