Single/Small Servings 2-Min Butter 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 butter 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 buttery. 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 quite thick.

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. You can also use any suitable mug or ramekin.

3.  Transfer the batter into the glass baking dish or cup. Spread evenly.

4.  Microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. It is best to microwave with a 30 second interval to avoid any overflow. 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, buttery and incredibly delicious. In fact, the texture is even better than the usual baked ones.
