Berried Treasure Cake

Last night in our Evening Conversation class, we made Berried Treasure Cake (like "buried treasure"). It is a very simple cake that you can make using a microwave. 

First, you mix the ingredients for the cake in a bowl. 

Next, you pour the batter into a glass dish, or any dish that is safe for the microwave. Cook it in the microwave for about 4 minutes. While it is cooking, mix the ingredients for the topping. Once the cake is done cooking, put the strawberries on top and add the cream.

Put is back in the microwave for 2 minutes and you are done!

It tastes a lot like strawberry shortcake. We really enjoyed it, why don't you try making it too?
