Micro cake in a mug

 

I couldn't believe I had just baked a delicious cake in my simple microwave oven in 70 seconds flat & that too without going thru the processes--it was simply putting all ingredients in a bowl & mixing them with a spoon & lo & behold a cake is ready to eat in the time it takes you to say Aabracadabra!!!!!thank you Averie Cooks

So, heres the recipe---1 tbsp butter softened,1 egg,1 tsp vanilla extract,2 tbsp sugar,1/2 tsp cinnamon,strawberries or any other berries diced & cut.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl except berries & whisk until batter is smooth,but do not overmix. Fold in berries. Oil a mug & pour batter in it taking care its not full as batter will rise in the micro. Microwave on High for 75-90 sec or until done.Its advisable to stand in front of the oven all the time till cake is done. While cake is cooling you can make a simple vanilla glaze by combining 1 tbsp butter,1/4 cup powdered sugar,1/4 tsp vanilla extract & 1 tbsp cream or milk. Spoon it over the cake & allow to soak in.

I'll let you in on a little secret here---since I did not have fresh berries, I used sugarless blue berry jam & the cake turned out fine. So methinks this recipe lends itself to various flavours --just let your imagination fly!!!!!!!!
