I tried this cake.. But it didnt get cooked after even 5 mins.. I don't know what was wrong.. I put it on a round glass tray.. Can we use baking powder or only baking soda?
@AnonymousYou have to use only baking soda
hey congrats Aarthi… am a great fan of your recipes… pls keep sharing … they are easy and very nice
one ques – what is the setting for your microwave top button (button above minutes round button)
Lovely cake. why to use lemon juice or venigar?
Aarthi, can u share me the microwave vanila cake recipe using eggs.Besides, going to try this tomorrow.
Can I use amul butter instead of unsalted butter. .

Hai aarthi, love ur recipes which r very easy .Can we use wheat flour instead of maida.
Hey Aarthi congrats on achieving this milestone! I love microwave baking as it is quick. Surely going to try this… but can u pls tell me the microwave button setting for the top round one (above the minutes setting button)
@AnonymousIt is microwave high mode
@AnonymousYou can add, but wheat flour gives you a heavier and denser cake
@khushiunsalted butter is must, because salted butter can makes things too salty
@Madhuwill share egg cakes soon
@MadhuLemon juice or vinegar acts with baking soda to make a lighter softer cake
@AnonymousThe settings is on high power
Dint turn out the way it should, dint get baked properly and evenly with a lump in the center. It was sticky ,also the taste was bitter too. What went wrong?Disappointed 🙁
-Veena
@AnonymousI am not sure, did you use the mentioned measurements.
Can I use ghee instead of unsalted butter? I can't find it at any stores. Can I use ghee for cake and chocolate glaze both?
Can replace unsalted butter with ghee? For both cake and chocolate glaze?
@AnonymousYes u can use ghee

Hii aarthi… thnks fr sharing MICROWAVE cake recipes.. i made this cake with same measuremnts two tyms.. bt dunno what went wrong.. both dint rise up.. infct it was burnt.. totally CRISPY BROWN.. i cook it fr 3 min at micro mode in godrej microwave oven.. plz suggest..
@Saumya Agarwaldid u small bowl or larger ones.
I used a container of 1 litre maximum qnty..
Very nice how to decorate it another way
@Saumya AgarwalThat is too big for this capacity, the batter should come half way the bowl
ok thnks.. it wasnt fluffy also..
@Saumya AgarwalU have to use a small pan. if u use big pan then reduce the cooking time.
Used exact measurements and cake turned out just awesome! Old version microwaves don't heat uniformly.
I used square bowl- exact measurements but with ghee. It turned out gooey and fell off the sides. DoNt know what I did wrong
@Anonymousno sure, something must have went wrong with measurements. Try it once more.
Maida and sugar quantity in cup is same … Which is 3/4 , but in grams its different … Please clarify why is it so ….
@AnonymousYes, because flour weighs less than sugar in grams.
Can we use ghee instead of unsalted butter??
@vrushyes u can use

I tried this as our early christmas cake and it was wonderful! Thanks aarthi and enjoy ur christmas 🙂
I tried this even after sifting baking soda with flour.
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
I tried the exact measurements too.
Baking comes oly out of experience I guess
@Anonymousi am not sure what must have gone wrong..
Hi Aarthi,

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.

I have Samsung microwave.Can you please help me here.
Thanks in advance,
Ramya
