        Ingredients

        • Gluten Free flour - This can either be gluten free plain or self-raising flour. If you don’t want to make this gluten free - look at my substitutes list below.
        • Dairy Free Butter – This can be in spread or block form at room temperature .
        • Caster sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my cakes which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using refined or normal granulated sugar.
        • Cream - I used plant based double cream to make this dairy free

        See recipe card for quantities.

        Instructions

        Baking cake in a microwave
        1. Begin by greasing and flouring your heat proof dish and set a side.
        2. In a bowl mix together the flour, rising agents, sugar and butter until smooth.
        3. Then add the egg and mix until smooth.

        5. As it cools make the cream, by whipping the cream until stiff peaks.

        Substitutions

        If you’d prefer not to make this quick cake in microwave specific to a dietary requirement or two, simply substitute the ingredients that correlate to your needs to make this microwave quick cake cake suitable for your diet.

        • Gluten free - If you’d prefer not to make this recipe for raspberry cake gluten-free simply substitute the gluten-free flour for normal plain flour. 
        • Dairy free - If you’d prefer not to make this dairy free simply substitute the dairy free butter for ordinary butter, specifically block butter
        • Cream - Simply substitute the plant based double cream for full fat double cream if you’d prefer not to make this dairy free. 

        Even if you don’t follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), you may have friends or family that could use this.

        Equipment

        For this recipe you’ll need a heatproof glass/ceramic dish, this is similar to the one I use which I line with grease and flour to prevent it sticking to the dish.

        Storage

        Storing and freezing cake from microwave

        How long does a single serve cake last?

        This will stay good at room temperature for up to 3 days, and in the freezer for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container.

        Top tip

        Although this cake in a microwave recipe is super simple to make, here are just a few expert tips I'd recommend:

        Don’t fill your baking dish too much/high as this cake does rise! And may overflow out of your dish if filled to the top

        Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 -15 mins before decorating with cream, as the cream will melt and dissolve into the cake if added onto a hot cake, but of course if you don’t mind then feel free to eat it as it is.
