Well, this one’s made in a microwave, which already makes it cooler than your everyday boring cake. So there.
This coffee cake is rich with butter, sour cream and eggs. If you want to make it even richer add walnuts to your brown sugar and butter topping.

So you made Microwave Coffee Cake, you fell asleep, and you woke up face-down on the desk. Coffee Cake can last at room temperature for a few days, so all is not lost. Wrap your cake up in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep your roommate’s visibly growing number of pet fruit flies from getting to it and also extending the shelf like by 2 days.
COST
$: You need flour, butter, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and baking powder. If you’re the foodie type you may already have everything, in which case: good for you. If you don’t, you can find everything at your local grocery store for not a whole lot of money.
MICROWAVE TABLE
- 1,000 watts or higher: Higher wattage, lower cook time. Our microwave is about 1,250 watts, but if you have one with about 1,000 watts you will want to cook this recipe for 1:33, depending on how burning hot you want your cake.
- 700 watts: Microwaves under about 900 don’t heat things evenly or consistently, so don’t go anywhere while you’re cooking, you need to keep an eye on it. Cook your Coffee Cake for about 2:17, and test it with a finger tip before you spoon a heaping scoop into your mouth.
