Easy Microwave Vanilla Cake

This recipe was automatically translated from Romanian. View original here

The cake is tasty, fluffy, with the aroma of milk, vanilla and coconut - you will notice its texture even after the presentation picture. The filling is prepared in the microwave, as well as the cream according to the Quick Milk Buttercream on the site. It took me about an hour to do everything - the countertops, the cream and assemble it.

Note - if you have a tray 26-28 cm in diameter (silicone, glass or ceramic), you will make 2 countertops. If the tray is 20-22 cm, a countertop is enough to cut in 2, only the cake will be smaller. I made it in a round silicone tray from Tupperware, 28 cm in diameter.

I will give the ingredients for a single countertop - if you make 2, double the quantities.

Powdered sugar

100 g

Egg

2 pieces

White flour

75 g

Coconut flakes

Baking powder

Step by step

Mix the soft butter (I put it in the microwave for a while and it melted a little harder, but it worked anyway) with the powdered sugar.

Then add the eggs and mix well with a whisk or mixer.

Then flour, coconut, baking powder and salt - mix well and finally add the milk, mix all the composition.

Pour the dough into a tray greased with butter (although mine is silicone, I said grease it anyway).

Place the tray in the microwave and cover it with the plastic microwave lid. Turn on the microwave at about 600-800W for 6 min.

After this time, remove the top from the microwave and leave it in the tray for 5-10 minutes.

After this time you can take out the countertop on a plate or grill and make the second countertop in the tray with the same ingredients. Here you see in the picture 2 countertops, I let them cool until I made the cream.

Prepare the cream according to the Quick Milk Buttercream Recipe . Let it cool a little, but not much, it must be warm - it will soften the cake better.

Divide the cream into 2 equal quantities and with one of them grease the first cake top.
