Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lightly grease a microwave-safe dish or bowl with some olive oil or lining it with baking paper. Make sure it's a deep dish to prevent overflow during cooking.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of self-raising flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of finely chopped or ground almonds. Stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Add 1 cup of orange juice, 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 beaten egg, and 1/4 cup of milk to the dry mixture. Mix until combined. The batter should be smooth and free of lumps.
4. Pour Batter into Dish:
- Pour the batter into the prepared microwave-safe dish, ensuring it is spread evenly.
- Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for about 6-8 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the power of your microwave, so check the cake at the 6-minute mark. The cake is done when a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool:
- Carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Allow the cake to cool in the dish for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can slice and serve your delicious Microwave Orange and Almond Syrup Cake. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure you use self-raising flour for the right texture and rise in the cake.
- Finely ground almonds will integrate better into the batter, giving the cake a smoother texture.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice will enhance the flavor of the cake.
- Use a microwave-safe dish to avoid any mishaps.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the microwave to avoid breaking.
- Microwave ovens vary, so you might need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
