Quick Microwave sponge cake

I tend to make this cake as a last minute dessert. Its, super quick and easy to make and tastes great with custard!

Lemon curd microwave cake

This recipe serves 3 but is very easy to double or triple.

Ingredients

2 oz of self raising flour

2 oz of sugar

2oz of butter of margarine

1 egg

2 tbsp of water

Optional additions

Chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, glacé cherries

Jam, lemon curd, maple syrup or golden syrup 

Greasy a microwave safe pudding basin with some better of margarine.

In a mixing bowl mix all of the ingredients for the cake together. If you want to add any, fruit, nuts or chocolate then mix them in too.

Put the mix into the pudding basin and cover loosely with cling film. Microwave on full power for 5 minutes.

The bowl will be very hot when you take it out of the microwave so make sure you use oven gloves.

I find that if I want to add jam or syrup to my cake its nicer just to turn the cake out onto a plate, warm the jam or syrup and pour it over the top of the cake. 

This cake tastes just as nice plain with or without custard if you are looking for something simple.

**This is not a slimming world recipe**
