The Rapid Cake For your basic cake, you need - 4 Tablespoons self raising flour 4 Tablespoons sugar 1 Egg 3 Tablespoons milk 3 Tablespoons oil You can also add cocoa - 2 tablespoons, or as I did, some sultanas. Whatever you like, I guess. You want a bowl ideally, so that when your cake grows it fits it just nice. Get some margarine or butter and grease the inside of the bowl. Then mix the flour and sugar (and the cocoa if you're using it) Insert your egg. Insert your milk and oil, and mix it til its good and smooth (also add your sultanas now if you're using them). You want to microwave it for 3 minutes or so. Then, wait for it to cool a bit and then scoop it out onto a plate and enjoy! (recipe adapted from here)
