2-Minute Single/Small Servings Lemon Olive Oil Cake
Single or small serving recipes are great for individuals living alone or those who are the only ones living low carb/keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. This recipe is based on my regular lemon olive oil cake. This method of cooking in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes makes the texture of the cake so soft, fluffy, moist and delicious with a lemony taste. I think the texture is even better than the usual baked ones.
1. Add all the dry ingredients into a small bowl and mix to combine. Then add all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. The batter is thick and smooth.
2. In the video, I used a 5x5 inch glass baking dish, greased and lined with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a cup as shown in the video. The previous cup I used was quite big, so I switched to using 2 smaller cups this time for portion control. You can also use any suitable mug or ramekin.
3. Transfer the batter into the glass baking dish or cups. Spread evenly.
4. Microwave 1 item at a time for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. It is best to microwave with a 20 to 30 second interval to avoid any overflow especially at the initial stage when the batter is more liquidly. Check doneness with a toothpick.
5. Once ready, remove the dish, parchment paper and slice into 4 servings.
6. You can enjoy this cake warm. It is so soft, fluffy, moist, refreshing and incredibly delicious. In fact, the texture is even better than the usual baked ones.
7. If you wish to use the traditional oven, you can bake them at 350F or 180C for about 15 minutes, but the texture will be different.
