Whisk the butter and the sugar in a bowl until light
and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Add the
sifted flour, salt and baking powder carefully with a
wooden spoon. Grease the base of an 8” soufflé
mould. Pour in the mixture. Microwave uncovered
on HIGH for 5-6 minutes. Leave the cake to stand

to cool completely. Put the sugar and water in a
bowl and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes or until
the sugar melts and you obtain a thin syrup. When
cool, pour onto the sponge. Whip the cream and
the icing sugar until soft peaks form, and spoon on
top of the cake. Decorate and serve with fresh fruit
on top.
