Microwave Apple Cake

Here is a simple and quick recipe to prepare a microwave apple cake. Perfect for when you are short on time but want to enjoy something sweet and homemade.

Ingredients

• 2 medium apples
• 150 g of flour
• 100 g of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 50 ml of seed oil or melted butter
• 50 ml of milk
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• Cinnamon powder (to taste)
• Powdered sugar (for decorating)

Preparation

1. Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces or thin slices.
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until you have a frothy and light mixture.
3. Add the oil (or melted butter) and milk, mixing well.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon powder.
5. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture, stirring until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter.
6. Add the chopped apples and mix gently to distribute them evenly.
7. Pour the batter into a microwave-safe cake pan (usually silicone or tempered glass), lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.
8. Cook in the microwave at 800 watts for about 7-10 minutes. (The time may vary depending on the power of your microwave, so check frequently.)
9. Do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
10. Let the cake cool before removing it from the pan and, if you like, dust it with powdered sugar.

Curiosity

Microwave cooking is much faster compared to traditional oven baking, but it can lead to slightly different results in terms of moisture and texture. Plus, cakes made this way tend to cool down faster, meaning you can enjoy them almost immediately after cooking!

Enjoy your meal and have fun experimenting with the microwave apple cake!
