Microwave Cakes ~ Cinnamon Heaven

Today (Sunday) my daughter was hungry and we had a little while until tea time. She wanted to make one of those 5 minutes chocolate cakes in a mug. Once my husband decided he wanted microwave 5 minute teacakes, and make a plain cake and added a cinnamon mixture into it.

So it is this recipe the girls made, with butter icing with cinnamon in it on top, and those American styled sprinkles (at the bottom of this page) and new dollar sprinkles from Safeway. It was very nice.

Easy Plain Cake

1 1/2 metric cups self raising flour (our cups are 250ml size)
pinch salt
3/4 metric cup castor sugar
2 eggs, beaten (we use 70g?) eggs
1/2 metric cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
125g butter, melted (4oz)

Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients.

Using a fork for mixing, combine all ingredients well.

Grease and line with greaseproof paper, a 22-23 cm (9") ring microproof container. Pour batter into dish.

Microwave on HIGH 4 minutes. Stand 5 minutes. Turn out remove paper and cool. Ice with your favourite icing.
