Microwave cakes made from boxed cake mixes can indeed be cooked in an oven. To achieve optimal results, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Additional ingredients can be added to the cake batter, enhancing flavor and texture without affecting the baking process.
