For The Sponge:

  • For The Sponge:

4oz Butter/Marg (plus some for greasing the bowl)

  • 4oz Sugar/Caster Sugar
  • 4oz S/R Flour
  • 2 Medium Eggs

For The Topping: - Pick any (or choose your own)

  • 2-3 tbsp Jam (any jam)
  • 2-3 tbsp Chocolate Spread
  • 1 Banana Sliced
  • 2-3 Peach halves
  • 2-3 tbsp Golden Syrup

You will also need:

  • 2 Bowls - 1 Needs to be slightly smaller than the other and needs to be microwave proof

    Method

    • step 1

      In a bowl cream the Butter and Sugar together untill smooth.
    • step 2

      Add in the Eggs, and beat quickly so that it does not curdle (You could add a tbsp of flour at this point - if you are worried about it curdling).
    • step 3

      Once the Eggs are combined, add in all of the Flour, and combine together, try to get as much air in the mixture as possible.
    • step 4

      Grease a separate bowl with a little butter. In the bottom of the bowl put in your topping, (eg - Jam).
    • step 5

      Once the Jam is in the bottom, add the sponge mixture on top of the Jam and level out slightly.
    • step 6

      Cover with cling film or a plate and microwave for about 6-8 minutes (Time may vary on individual microwaves - so if you think it needs more time dont worry - you cant over cook the sponge - just be carefull if you have used chocolate spread this can burn)
    • step 7

      Once cooked remove the cling film or plate (be carefull it will be hot). Place a large plate over the top of the bowl - holding the bowl and plate together - flip the bowl upside down and the sponge should land on the plate. Take the bowl off, cut into 4 and serve with custard.
