Microwave your cake for roughly 45 seconds, then check for doneness. The cake should have risen and be firm to the touch. If it is not done and still looks wet on top, cook for 10 seconds at a time and stop cooking just as soon as it is set. (Take care not to overbake or this will toughen the cake.)
