Kathy, that's just it. Mine taste just fine and are always moist and usually done to perfection. I don't normally put anything on most of the ones I make because they're Bundt recipes that are already very moist and flavorful enough without the addition of a topping which is why the idea of it looking different is embarrassing. <sigh>

I guess I'm going to have to find an honest sighted person and ask them to really describe a cake so I know for sure if it's fit to serve.

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.

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
