MICROWAVE TEA CAKE

This recipe is another given to me by my mother and is so handy for when friends drop by unexpectedly and you have nothing else to offer or you just need something you can whip up quickly for an afternoon snack. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to  mix this up then it's into the microwave, 6 minutes later it's ready to eat, warm, tasty and smelling great.


                                                          MICROWAVE TEACAKE


2T (rounded) Butter
3/4 cup Caster Sugar
1/4 cup Fruit Juice
1/4 cup Milk
1 Egg, beaten
Pinch Salt
1 cup S.R Flour
Yellow Food Colouring


1. Melt butter in microwave (approx. 1 minute).


2. Place butter in large bowl and add sugar, juice, milk, egg, salt, flour
   and few drops of food colouring.


3. Cook for 6 minutes in microwavable container with glass in centre,all sprayed
   with cooking spray.Once cooked, turn out and sprinkle top with cinnamon and 
   sugar.


   
SERVING HINTS FROM VON:-


* After slicing, spread with a generous swipe of butter and serve with a cup of
   tea/coffee. Tastes lovely fresh out of the oven but delicious served cold also.

  1. What temperature did you cook this on. I tried a teacake in the microwave using medium heat and guessed at 10mins. Obviously too long and maybe too low a temperature and it is a bit rubbery.
