Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Start by greasing a microwave ring pan and lining it with a paper towel, ensuring to cut a neat circle in the center of the paper towel. Alternatively, you can use non-stick spray for greasing. π³
- Creaming:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth texture. π₯
- Incorporating Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, ensuring to beat well after each addition. This step helps to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake. π₯
- Sifting and Folding:
- Sift the self-raising flour and cocoa powder together, then gently fold them into the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. This process helps to maintain the airiness of the batter while ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients. π«
- Microwaving:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and cook it on high in the microwave for approximately 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. β°
- Cooling and Decorating:
- Allow the cake to stand for a minute before turning it out onto a cooling rack. Once cooled, you can decorate it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or grated chocolate, adding a touch of elegance to your creation. π
- Making the Coffee Syrup:
- In a separate jug, combine all the ingredients for the syrup except the coffee liqueur. Microwave the mixture on high for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Final Touch:
- After boiling, add the coffee liqueur to the syrup and pour it over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in and infuse the cake with rich coffee flavor. π
Now, you’re ready to indulge in this moist and flavorful Coffee Liqueur Microwave Cake, perfect for any occasion or simply as a treat for yourself whenever the craving strikes! Enjoy every delicious bite of this easy-to-make dessert. π
