Microwave Cake

     If you are ever in the mood for a cake and don't want to wait the full 20 minutes, then you have a lot in common with me and my grandma late at night after watching an old VHS recording of Sarah Plain and Tall. 


     Now don't judge, it's something from my childhood. Anyways, we were getting ice cream out and then thought it would be nice to have some cake with it. Since the ice cream was already out we decided to microwave the cake because according to my grandma it only takes 7 minutes.

     We ended up cooking it for 8 minutes and it was fully cooked and fully risen. It tasted pretty good and was very moist. We used a box mix of cherry chip cake and had a large glass pan. The taste was a little off and after looking it up online it was most likely the eggs. Some other alternatives were meringue  powder or powdered pudding.

     All in all it was pretty convenient and with a little tweaking it could be a new favorite.
