This basic microwave sponge recipe can be used to make many iced cakes and gateaux or even enjoyed on its own. The cake may appear to be a little moist and sticky on the surface even after it has been cooked for the time specified, but it is actually cooked. Allow the cake to rest, covered for at least 10 minutes after removing it from the microwave, as the steam trapped within will continue to cook the cake.
