I sometimes crave ‘Wagashi’, Japanese Sweets, but it is almost impossible to find where I live. When I miss ‘Wagashi’, I cook ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste), which is a very popular ingredient for Japanese Sweets. I want to share a super quick and easy cake that you can make using ‘Taubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste). It satisfies my craving and it takes only a few minutes to make.

Makes

1 Serving *I used 380ml mug

Ingredients

1 tablespoon (15g) Butter
1 Egg *OR 2-3 tablespoons Milk
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste)
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) Self-Raising Flour

Method

1. Place Butter in a mug, microwave for 20-30 seconds OR until Butter melts.
2. Add Egg (OR Milk), Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste) and Self-Raising Flour, and mix well.
3. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds OR until cooked. I recommend to enjoy it with Cream. *Note: Try not to over-cook it as the cake turns very dry. I used 1000W microwave and cooked for 85 seconds today.
