Help, need a microwave cake or pudding recipe please!

How many portions does this quantity make please?

Most cakes, whether home made or bought, make a reasonable pudding when heated in the microwave. Others have beaten me with home made recipes so here are some ideas for shop bought cakes. The McVities loaf shaped cakes are particularly good.

Try a slice of their Jamaica ginger cake with chopped stem ginger and some of the ginger syrup from the jar all heated together. Or the golden syrup cake with an extra drizzle of golden syrup on top then heated.

Don't worry if you don't have the extra items, the basic cakes have enough flavour.

Definitely sponge pudding! I make it so often in my house, usually with a big blob of nutella, golden syrup or jam at the bottom to make it even more moist and yummy.

I would think a 4oz/2egg mix would serve 4-6 as a dessert with custard

How about microwave meringues

1 egg white lightly beaten
add icing sugar until you make a stiff 'dough'
shape into a long sausage shape and slice into thin 5mm slices
microwave for 1.5mins
yummy with cream and fruit or crumbled on top of icecream yumyum:p

Shopndrop - 2 adults and a 3 yr old for 2 nights - so I guess you could say 5, however, you could stretch it to 6 easily.

my friend made that mug cake the other day and said it was delish.

when my parents bought their first microwave it came with a recipe booklet and my dad decided to make jam roly poly, the door burst open and jam roly poly exploded all over the kitchen and it took forever to clean lol. methinks microwaves are better these days

I still regularly use the one and only MW my parents bought, and will probably make a celebratory jam sponge pudding in it to celebrate its 25th birthday next month! :T

I always add a little extra liquid when making a MW sponge pudding, so I have more of a batter than a mix, otherwise it seems to be a bit dry, especially when eaten cold.

Does it reheat OK the following evening or do you have to eat it cold?

If you put a tin of cherry pie filling under a chocolate sponge mixture it is delicious!

Those MW sponge puds re-heat very well. I add a squirt of lemon juice to the mix as well..Dianne
