Notes
1)I used a 7 to 8 cm round cake pan, I baked two cakes using this batter, it took me 2 mins to make a cake. if you use a bigger cake pan, then it will take lesser time. So bake accordingly. If you overbake the cake then it will turn hard.2)This cake is perfect for making blackforest cake, because it absorbs the syrup a lot better.3)My microwave has highest power of 800 watts.4)This has to be done in normal micro mode, in which you cook your vegetables. This cake cannot be done in convection mode.
