1-Minute Blueberry Cake

By Addie

This week on RMK it’s summer snack attack week. With the kiddos out of school I am sure you have heard this question as often as me “What can I have for a snack?” I have the usual popsicles, crackers, fruit, string cheese etc. but it is now to the point where we need something new. So if your kids need a snack why not have them make something. It gets them the snack they are looking for, helps them learn cooking skills, and keeps them busy for a bit.

Today’s recipe is a quick cake you whip up in the microwave. I happen to make a blueberry version, but you could use raspberries, blackberries, peaches, etc in it’s place. I also used nuts but you can leave them out, or chocolate chips would be a nice substitute. :) Yummy, I love this quick cake!

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1 Tablespoon canola oil
• 1 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
• 10 or so blueberries
• A few chopped walnuts
• Ice cream or whipped cream, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl , combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, oil, sugar, and milk. Pour the mixture into a ramekin or other small microwave safe dish. Spread evenly to cover the bottom of the dish.

Sprinkle with a few blueberries and nuts. Then microwave for 1 minute. That’s it. Enjoy it warm with a little ice cream or whipped cream if you’d like.
