This is an outstanding method in making a sweet for myself. I loved the addition of the lemon to this cake mixture...just added the zip needed. Finished in my microwave in 5 minutes perfectly. I did not have a ramekin so used a prep glass instead and it worked fine. Just in case someone else needs the conversions: 110g sugar = almost 1/2 cup; 110 g self-rise flour = almost 1 cup; 110 g butter = almost a 1/2 cup and 25 ml milk = 1.5 tbls. Thanks for sharing! I'll be making this again. So glad I tagged this in Newest Zaar Tag game.

This is a very nice treat-for-one! The texture was good and I liked the lemon flavor. The carrots were good but I'd like to try it with blueberries too. Topped mine with a little powdered sugar and really enjoyed - thanks for posting the recipe!
