Simple Vanilla Cake with Choco Chips

 
     I bought a convection microwave oven in November during Diwali celebrations. I had been toying with the idea of switching over to a convection microwave for about two years. I researched online, asked people for feedback, and visited electronic stores several times but was hesitant to purchase it. Most people who owned it suggested not to buy it since they had not used the oven mode even once and it simply served as a microwave. My sis in law who bakes amazing cakes gave me a good review about convection microwave. So finally I bought it and I must say it was a good decision. 
        This was my first cake. It is a simple recipe shared by a friend and improvised by my sis in law. It turned out well. I did not have a egg beater and had to buy one before starting this cake. So one can imagine how much baking I have done in my entire life:-)

3. Slowly add Flour from step 1 to egg mixture. Mix it lightly.

4. Dust choco chips and almond pieces with flour so that they don't sink while baking.

5. Apply butter to the baking try and dust with flour.
