The Microwave Bday Cake

I live in China (even though Im Italian) and here most apartments dont have an oven but just a microwave, which reduce a lot the selection of food I can cook. Anyways, it was my bf's bday and I decided make him a cake just using our microwave.

Ingredients:

• 125 g sugar (2/3 cup)
• 125 g flour (1 cup)
• 2 eggs
• 100 g butter (2/4 cup)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 4 tbsp milk (1/4 cup)
• 30 g cocoa powder (1/4 cup)
• 120 ml milk, 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 200 g whipping cream
• Chocolate Cream Pastry
• MMF (to decorate)

Step 1: Step 1: mix ingredients together

Melt the butter in your microwave at max heat for 1/2 min. Mix it with the sugar.

Add the eggs and beat together

Slowly add the flour and baking powder and then the cocoa powder

Pour in some milk.

What does MMF stand for? If I go to the local supermarket and ask a TTS (typical teenage stockboy) for MMF will he know what it is?

[ExpatCucina]

MMF stands for Marshmallow fondant. I posted an instructable in the cake decoration section that shows how to make MMF.
