I too asked this question and received this receipe from a poster called BBWCHATT

Syrup Sponge Pudding

110 g margarine
100 g white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 ml vanilla extract
170 g self-rising flour
30 ml milk
60 ml maple syrup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a two pint heat proof bowl or basin. In large bowl, cream together margarine and sugar. Add, a little at a time, beaten eggs, vanilla and flour, until well mixed. Fold in milk to make a smooth consistency. Pour syrup in bottom of prepared basin and layer batter over the top. Cover basin with firmly tied parchment paper covered with foil. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place basin on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the basin. Steam in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until pudding springs back when touched. Invert onto serving plate and serve warm.

I found this for you. Looks reliable! Nothing about power of m/wave, so you may have to experiment.

Hi
I make a plain sponge pudding for the microwave using the same ingredients as if I was making a plain sponge cake. I never use any fancy ingredients as you don't really need to.
- 4oz caster sugar
- 4oz butter/marg
- 4oz self raising flour
- 2 eggs
I mix all the ingredients together, rub a thin layer of grease around a microwaveable bowl and pour the mixture in. I just guess the amount of time in the micro, usually takes about 4 mins, wait until its risen well take it out and test with a skewer. I serve with golden syrup.
YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
