Two minute microwave cake

Ran out of snack at home!!!!. This will help you if you have an microwave oven at home. I have tried this recipe many times. Here comes the recipe

Ingredients:

All purpose flour / Self raising flour	1 cup
Sugar	½ cup
Salt	A pinch
Egg	1
Vanilla Essence	¼ tbsp.
Cup to bake the cake
Butter or oil	2 tbsp

Method:

1.       Take a bowl and mix the flour, sugar and egg and mix well without any lumps.

2.       Take a microwave safe cup, heat little butter or oil and then take the mixed batter in a cup (half a cup).

3.       Keep it in the oven and bake for 2.5 mins or 3 mins. Take only half a cup batter because it raises as it gets baked.

4.       Allow to cool a bit and have it. Sometimes it turns rubbery if you leave it for long.

Note:

Adding vanilla essence is optional. If you don’t like the egg smell, add only egg whites.

Method
