Microwave Cake Baking

by

One of my favorite kitchen accessories is a silicone bundt baking pan. Not only can I use this in the oven but it’s microwave safe. I have made two cakes in the microwave using the silicone bundt.

The latest one I made was this week using a Jiffy yellow cake mix. I couldn’t pass up the 58 cent mix. I added a little extra water since my last cake dried out really fast. I set the microwave for 10 minutes and then waited.

The cake tasted OK at first but then was a little spongy. I think that since it was a smaller mix that I should have cooked it less. Since the yellow cake wasn’t that tasty, I probably will stick with the full sized cake mixes.

Baking a cake in microwave is a fast way to whip up a cake for any occasion. Plus it doesn’t heat up the house and the silicone pans are really easy to clean.
