Mike's 60 Second Sponge Cake
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter
- 1/4 cup Regular Sugar
- 1 medium Fresh Egg
- 1 medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- Mix everything in the Microwave Sponge Cake section with whisk.
- Leave no lumps.
- Spray your ramakins with an olive oil or butter spray.
- Fill ramakins 1/2 way to their tops.
- Cover ramakins tightly with cling wrap.
- Poke 4 holes in the cling wrap with a toothpick.
- One ramakin at a time - microwave each cake for 55 to 60 seconds.
- Check at 50 seconds on your first try.
- 55 seconds consistently does the trick for me in a newer 1100 watt microwave.
- While sponge cake is still warm, using the blade of a butter knife - gently pull cake from your ramakins sides.
- Turn ramakins over and gently release your cakes on to a plate and allow them to cool covered with cling wrap.
- These cakes will dry out quickly if not covered.
- Break these cakes up in pieces or dish your cakes up any way YOU desire.
- Get creative!
- You can use a self rising flour but know it will create a smoother cake finish see last photo below than the AP flour would.
- It's the AP flour that gives this cake it's spongy look.
- However, the absorbency and sweet taste are ultimately identical with self rising.
- If choosing to use a larger ramakin as pictured below, you'll need to microwave for about 90 seconds + until cake is done.
- If you're interested in the Strawberry Shortcake and sauce pictured above: It's 10 large crushed strawberries, water as needed, Sugar In The Raw or sugar to taste and 1/4 tsp lemon zest.
- There's also a large dollop of high end - quality Strawberry Jam at the base of each glass.
- Mix 1 tablespoon corn starch + 1 teaspoon water very well and add it to your simmering strawberries to thicken your sauce - if desired.
- Drizzle sauce over sponge cake.
- Add sliced fresh strawberries and Cool Whip to taste.
- Enjoy!
