I haven't done many cricrowave cakes to know re the appearance, but would say if they're frosted you could get away with them otherwise being ok, unless the texture is off. I've done an oatmeal cake several times in the microwave that's turned out nicely.

Subject: [CnD] Appearance of Microwave Baked Goods


Hi, all.

I was browsing my old CND folder and found this site for microwave cake recipes.

The first thing this site says is that microwave cakes don't always look the same as oven baked cakes. I understand how microwaves and ovens cook and know that no microwave is ever going to give you a nice brown topping. But. . . if I make a chocolate cake and frost it or do a spice Bundt cake and use a powdered sugar covering how different would it look as compared to an oven baked cake? I've used mine to do cakes for a couple of years now and no one has mentioned. .. even under their breath, that the cake looks different, and I come from a pretty outspoken family. Now I'm a bit paranoid.

The site the info came from is: http://www.allbakingrecipes.com/baking-recipes/microwave-cakes-bakes/microwave-cakes-bakes.php
