Notes

• I love cooking in Microwave as it is fast and conserves nutrition. My microwave is 1200W power setting, so 4 minutes cooking time is OK. Please adjust cooking time as per your microwave power.
• After 4 minutes even if the cake looks moist, do not over cook as it will dry the cake. The cake stays inside the microwave for another 5 minutes and in this time it is still cooking.
• For microwave cooking moisture is must. Hence add milk to get right consistency.
• Any flovor or color of choice can be used.
