Easy Microwave Sponge Pudding

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.
