Baking Guidelines

DISH SHAPE

Ring moulds are ideal for baking cakes in, especially dense cakes. They help prevent the outside edge of the cake overcooking before the dense centre is cooked through.

KEEPING QUALITY

Light sponge type cakes cook very quickly by microwave and so should be cooked as required, since their keeping quality is not as long as those baked traditionally.

CONSISTENCY

Generally cakes to be cooked by microwave should have a softer consistency than those baked traditionally. As a general rule add

15-30 ml (1-2 tbsp) of milk or water to the mixture.

COVERING

Just as you wouldn’t cover a cake baked in a traditional oven, NEVER cover your cakes cooked by microwave.

DISH SIZE

Always use the exact dish size stated in the following recipes, otherwise cooking times and results will be affected.

MIXING/BEATING

Cakes cooked by microwave need to be well mixed, but not over beaten. Generally it is unnecessary to cream butter and sugar or beat eggs in an electric mixer or food processor. Do not attempt to cook whisked/fatless sponges, or any cakes containing whisked egg white.

EGGS

The following recipes have been tested using medium eggs. Using a different size of egg may affect cooking times.

100 g (4 oz) soft margarine

100 g (4 oz) caster sugar
