Mike's 60 Second Sponge Cake instructions

  1. ° Mix everything in the Microwave Sponge Cake section with whisk. ° Leave no lumps..
  2. Spray your ramakins with an olive oil or butter spray..
  3. ° Fill ramakins 1/2 way to their tops. ° Cover ramakins tightly with cling wrap. ° Poke 4 holes in the cling wrap with a toothpick..
  4. ° 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..
  5. ° 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..
  6. Break these cakes up in pieces or dish your cakes up any way YOU desire. Get creative!.
  7. ° 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..
  8. ° 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..
  9. Enjoy! ..

I made it in two different microwaves over the weekend. I usually make a simple sponge cake which is quite moist however I knew I needed a denser cake for stacking. Sponge cake is the perfect canvas for fruits, glazes and creams. Entertain for tea or dessert with one of these easy recipes from Food Network. Using a butter knife, gently pull cake away from Ramekins walls and tip out.
