If you still don’t feel comfortable with the concept of baking in the microwave, but you still want to save time – no problem. The following three baking creations are also ready on the table within 30 minutes when time is running out:
But: With all the hustle and bustle, don’t make one of the 11 most common mistakes when baking a cake. Because it is precisely here where a lot can go wrong, which can mess up the result. Now that you are well prepared for baking the sour cream fruit cake, we wish you a lot of fun!

preparation
-
For the dough, beat the eggs, 100 g of sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt until creamy. Important: Be careful not to create too much foam or the dough will puff up too much in the microwave. Mix flour and baking powder. First stir the oil and 1 tablespoon of water into the custard, then briefly stir in the flour mixture.
-
Pour the batter into a greased silicone pie pan (24 cm diameter). Cook in the microwave at 600 watts for about 8 minutes. Take out, let cool slightly and then carefully remove from the mould. Turn over and let cool.
-
Pick, wash and drain the berries. Wash and halve the strawberries. Puree half of the berries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and pass them through a sieve. Mix cream stabilizer and 2 tbsp sugar. Beat the cream and sour cream with the hand mixer until stiff, pour in the sugar mixture.
-
Spread the base with the cream. Drizzle the berry sauce over the cream. Sprinkle the remaining berries on top and refrigerate the cake until ready to serve. Finished!
