Notes
I used a 1 litre glass bowl. Cooking times may vary depending on the type of microwave you are using. My jam pudding took 5 minutes for the sponge to cook in the microwave on full power (800w microwave). Bear in mind, plastic bowls do not conduct heat as well as glass bowls, so cooking times are likely to increase if that’s what you are using.
Note: Take care with turning the cake onto a plate as the bowl and jam will be extremely hot!
