Cakes, Desserts and slices can successfully be cooked in the microwave oven if a few simple rules are followed see individual recipes for instructions.

Cooking Cakes by Micro power

•The texture of cakes cooked in the microwave oven is not the same as cakes cooked in a conventional oven, but it is a convenient way of cooking cakes.

•Do not use metal cake tins, plastic dishes and pyrex, give the best results when cooking cakes. Grease the dish and line with paper towel or bake paper to absorb excess moisture.

•Round or oval shaped dishes produce the most even cooking results. Square cakes may need the corners shielded with foil to prevent overcooking.

•Choose light coloured cakes that can be iced or substitute brown sugar for white sugar and sprinkle the top of cake with spices to give a darker appearance.

•Do not fill cake pans more than half full. Microwaved cakes rise substantially more than conventionally cooked cakes.

•Cakes need to be well mixed but do not over beat. Creaming with an electric mixer or food processor is not necessary. Use a fork to mix as the microwave aerates the mixture as it cooks.

•Do not cover cakes as the top will steam.

•Cakes should be removed from the oven just before they look cooked as the cooking process will finish during standing time.

•Chocolate cakes cook slightly faster than plain cakes.

•Cakes containing a large amount of whisked egg white will not cook successfully in the microwave oven.
