Have you ever wondered that you could ever bake a sponge cake in a microwave that too egg-less? Okay, whatever, even if you wondered or not, here is that awesome recipe which is made by Bushi and me!
*It is a lot fun to do!*
Microwave sponge cake recipe-
Ingredients-
Baking soda - 2 teaspoons
Baking powder* optional - 2 teaspoons
Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour - 4 table spoons
Milk - 1 cup of 200ml
Granulated sugar or powered sugar- 2 table spoons
Oil* optional (only for smooth texture) - 1 teaspoon
Cocoa powder(if baking a chocolate cake) - 2 table spoons
Banana, papaya or any other fruit if baking a fruit cake - 1 fruit
Chocolate ice-cream, vanilla ice-cream, butterscotch ice cream if baking a ice cream flavored cake- 2 table spoons
Steps!!!
Step 1- Add sugar and milk in a bowl and stir well until completely dissolved.
Step 2- Add the cocoa powder (you can add fruits or ice creams here, too), all purpose flour and baking powder.
Step 3- Stir them well until you get a fine paste and it flows down loose. If it is not loose, you can always add a bit of milk.
Step 4- Add the baking soda **VERY IMPORTANT STEP!**
Step 5- Add oil if needed for good texture and stir well.
Step 6- **Another important step** Add lemon juice and mix very well and FAST. You should observe a bit of foam or a bit of batter raising.
Step 7- Pat the bowl on the surface to raise the air bubbles.
Step 8- Grease a microwave friendly pan with butter and put a wax paper at the sides and bottom.
Step 9- Transfer the batter into the microwave friendly dish.
Step 10- Microwave for 2-3 minutes under constant observation.
Step 11- Remove the cake after baking and let it sit for 10 minutes on a cooling rack.
Step 12- Add any icing of your choice or leave it plain.
Tip!! Bake two cakes and make a mixture of warm water and sugar and coat it on top of both cakes. On one of the cakes, spread chocolate syrup or anything of your choice(or even an ice cream). Attach both the cakes and you get a bigger and yummier cake!!
You are done baking your cake! Yayy! Time to taste and fill empty tummy :D
Hope it comes out well.
All this recipe is prepared by Bushi and me and is tried.
Came out really spongy and well. Careful while microwaving!
Good luck and until next time!
Bye-bye!
