Just had one of these on a whim.
A Microwaved freshly made Sponge Pud for two, with Custard, done in 12 mins from inception to consumption.
Partner 1:
2oz Butter and 2oz Caster Sugar (Golden gives a better appearance), warmed for 8 seconds in the Microwave and lightly creamed with a fork
Add 2oz Self-Raising Flour, few drops of Vanilla essence/extract and one egg soundly beaten.
Stir until happy (or grumpy, if that's your thing).
Partner 2: Custard ingredients at the ready, start making it and give oppo four minute bell.
At the four minute mark, Partner 1 heats a dessert spoon under the hot tap and uses it to drop an enormous dollop of Golden Syrup into a Pudding Basin, then spoons on top of it the sponge mixture.
Immediately bung it in the Microwave for two and a half minutes, awaiting the 30 second bell from the Custard queen.
At the 30 second bell, reheat for about 15 seconds and serve in two portions.
Partner 2 pours Custard on top.
Done.
You cannot tell by colour, texture or taste that it has not been steamed for weeks.
