Add sugar in 2 or 3 batches as you are beating. Next add the oil the same way. Stop beating and fold in the maida mixture gently in a cut-n-fold method. Pour into a baking dish (which has been lined with greased butter paper) about 7 “ to 8” diameter. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.

When cooled , Sieve powdered sugar on top of the cake with the help of a tea-strainer and decorate either with cocoa powder and glaze cherries or as desired.
