Any and every cake that is prepared using a microwave oven is known as a microwave cake. The microwave cake recipes are entirely different from those of cakes prepared in ovens. The main difference is that the amount of time taken while using microwave cake recipes is much lesser as compared to the time taken in following a traditional recipe. These appliances have completely changed the way that cakes are prepared. The best part is that a microwave cake is as tasty as a traditional cake and using more or less the same ingredients. The biggest advantage is that anyone and everyone can prepare a microwave cake even if they are not very good at baking or cooking. All that needs to be done is mix the ingredients in proper quantities and place the mixture in a microwave oven. The result is mostly as desired and an excellent dessert is ready in no time.
