This cake is to celebrate a happiest moment, yes my facebook page reached 200k likes..This is one of my happiest moment..i never thought that my little blog will reach so many peoples all over the world. I am happy that i am helping so many peoples in cooking, it makes me really happy.

As soon as i saw this, i ran into my kitchen and made this cake to celebrate this special moment. This cake turned out like super moist and soft. I loved it so much and i was super excited to see that cake. Because i never thought that a super delicious and soft cake can be made in microwave in less than 4 mins. I made this cake from start to finish in 15 mins.

I have already shared few microwave cake recipes, a 5 min chocolate cake, 5 min chocolate fruit cake, a amazing black forest cake, 5 mins oreo cake, you can check all my microwave baking recipes too..So try this out and let me know how it turns out for you..

For Chocoate Glaze:
Sugar – 1/2 cup / 100 gms
Cocoa Powder – 3 tblspn
Unsalted Butter – 1 tblspn melted
Milk – 3 to 4 tblspn

Method:

Take flour, sugar, baking soda in a bowl and mix well. Make a well in the center of the bowl, pour in milk, melted butter and vanilla in it. Fold to mix. Add in vinegar and mix well to form a smooth batter.

Now grease a microwave safe dish with butter generously, pour the batter in and bake for 3 mins.

    Baked it in high fr 6 mins
    But still it was little fudge in the bottom and sides
    Moreover the measurement makes it vry sweet

    Thanks for your post and I tried your gravy recipe and it came out well.
    This is my first baking or caking but it turned out badly.I used same measurements and while cooking the batter came out of container and after cooling it settled in bottom 🙁 and it's kind of paste and dark brown and settled in bottom.
    If there is option to show pic I would have posted it here so you could be able to tell me what went wrong.
    I have Samsung microwave.Can you please help me here.
