1 Prepare your cake mix according to package directions. Mix the ingredients. Chocolate or dark cakes work especially well. During the microwave cooking process, the cake does not brown like in the oven, so vanilla or light cake will not change color. If you prefer light-colored cakes, use a generous layer of frosting for contrast.

2 For best results, use a round silicone cake pan that bakes the cake more evenly. If you don't have one, choose a round dish with straight rims that can be used in the microwave. Remember that the cake will take shape.

3 Place in the microwave. Cook on high power for 10 minutes. Microwaves cook differently, so check after 8.5 minutes to cook, and bake only if necessary. Place the cake on a platter. Let it cool for 10 minutes while you clean up a little, then cover it with icing or fondant.

4 If you've made a cake with a hole in the middle, you can add canned or fresh cherries or strawberries to fill the hole to make the cake look more presentable.

Tips

To make the cake more attractive and easier to remove from the mold, take a scoop of icing (about 1/3 of the can) and brush the inside of the mold with it. The glaze layer should be thin. If it is thick, you will get dirty when you take out the finished cake.
You can use a special bowl (Heat N Serve) for making the cake, which keeps the handles cold and makes it easier for you to turn the cake.
Preparation, cooking and cleaning will take approximately 20 minutes in total. This means you have plenty of time to enjoy your dessert.

Warnings

The mold will be very hot, be careful.
If you are using a Pyrex ™ glass pan, be careful not to place it after the microwave oven on a cold surface such as granite, stone or tiles. A sudden change in temperature can cause the mold to crack.
