My little 5 year old loves cooking and helping around in the kitchen. He calls himself my little Elf helper. Bless! . It is so much fun cooking and especially baking with your little one, I'm sure a lot of you would agree. Today he wanted to try a cake by himself and I could only let him use the microwave, for obvious reasons. This would be his first - he is growing :)
This recipe is perfect for that Bachelor boy who wants to whip up a quick tasty spongy delite away from home on a festive day. It goes brilliantly with some vanilla icecream if you wanted to wooo a special friend /friends by cooking for them.
A few things before we start:
- Mix the ingredients enough to leave no dry lumps.
- For an extra taste add 1/2 cup of melted butter instead of oil.
- Adjust the time according to your microwave. ie, keep a close eye and keep for an extra minute or two if the toothpick test comes out wet.
