1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1/8 tsp. salt
1/3 c. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2/3 c. milk

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a mixer bowl beat butter for 1/2 minute. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. Add egg. Beat until combined. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to beaten mixture, beating well. Pour in greased microwave dish. Cut a piece of waxed paper to fit bottom of pan. Pour cake batter on top of waxed paper.

Cook cake layer uncovered on 50% power for 10 minutes. If not done cook on 100% power for 30 seconds to 20 minutes or until the surface is nearly dry. Cool cake on wire rack for 5 minutes. To loosen, run a narrow metal spatula around dish edges and slightly under waxed paper. COOL!!!!!

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

Thank you so much. I've searched the internet for this recipe but all I ever found was: "Buy Yellow Cake Mix. Cook according to directions." This was so useful, and hopefully I will finish this before my tea party! :)

Normally I use a shopbought cake mix, but tried this today and it worked out beautifully, better than the shop mix. Wont bother with them in the future and will use this one.
Thanks a lot for posting it.
