I just made this in 6 minutes!!! Its gorgeous
 

cravng jam spnge and just made this.

125 g jam
2 ounces margarine (a little extra to grease)
1 egg
2 ounces caster sugar
2 ounces self raising flour
3 drops vanilla essence


Grease the sides and base of an appropriate size dish (allow for mixture to rise 1 1/2 inches when cooked)with a little margarine.
Spread your jam on the bottom of your dish.
Mix together all other ingredients and pour into the dish on top of the jam.
Heat on full power in an 800 watt microwave for three minutes.
Remove from microwave (remember its hot) and place a plate large enough to cover on top and turn over.
Lift your dish (the sponge should just slip out and jam should run down the sides).
Serve immediately--custard is my favorite!

Sounds great! :yes I haven't made a sponge in the microwave for years. I don't think I have the dish to make it in any more. :(

I've never done it! It feels like such a cheat to use the microwave... but if you could see my kitchen you'd know why i used MW today! lol
