Celebrate good times (come on!) with a 4-ingredient cake mix you can make in the microwave! It’s gluten free and dairy free (if you use non-dairy milk). This recipe is easy enough for little ones to help out with and while the mix is sugar-conscious, it’s still deliciously sweet.
Toppings (optional): whipped cream, strawberries, powdered sugar
- In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until just combined.
- Scrape batter into lightly oiled 8" round silicone cake pan.
- Microwave, uncovered, on high 5 min. Rest in pan for 6 min; invert onto wire rack to cool. Or, bake in preheated 325° F oven for 40–45 min, or until a toothpick inserted in centre of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 min before unmolding.
- Let cool completely before adding toppings, if desired.
To make a funfetti cake, fold 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles into the batter before microwaving or baking.
Microwave cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage. Baked goods cooked in the microwave taste best when eaten the same day.
If using nut or soy milk, remember to choose unsweetened options!
