Coffee Cake Baked in Microwave Oven

This is my first attempt to bake a cake. The coffee cake came out pretty good with the flavor of coffee. This cake is perfect for coffee lovers. A yummy evening snack to savor with tea or coffee. I baked the cake in microwave oven. The cake was fluffy, spongy and tasty. It did not disappoint me even in my first attempt. Take a quick look at the ingredients and learn to make it....

Preparation time : 15 mins

Baking time         : 8 mins

Yield                    : 15- 20 medium pieces

Ingredients : 

2 cups or 200 grams all purpose flour
1/2 cups or 100 grams granulated sugar

 3 eggs

100 grams unsalted butter

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence 

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoon instant or granulated coffee dissolved in little milk

Method : 

Cream sugar and butter in a bowl add vanilla, mix well. Add eggs to it and beat well. 

Sift the all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda. (to avoid any clumps)

Add to the mix of sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs. Add the instant coffee mix. Add half cup of milk. Mix very well. 

Grease the non-stick bakeware with butter and dust it with flour

Add the cake mix or batter to the cake pan and place it in microwave oven for 8 mins on high.

(Keep a small cup or glass of water on the side so that the cake doesn't become too dry)

Remove and cool and invert it on a rack or a tray.

Note: To check whether the cake is perfectly baked, poke the toothpick on the top of the cake slightly in the middle. If it comes up with some wet batter or stickiness, the cake needs to be baked some more time. If the toothpick comes dry, then the cake is done.
