Y is for Microwave *Y*ellow Cake

Wow, we are almost there!  Today is Day #25- the letter Y!  I am sharing our Microwave Yellow Cake today.

1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup 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.  Cut a piece of wax paper to fit bottom of microwave-safe pan/dish. Pour cake batter on top of wax paper.  Cook cake uncovered on 50% power for 10 minutes.  If not done, cook on 100% power for 30 seconds to 2 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 wax paper.  Frost with your favorite homemade frosting.  :-)
