Hi there! As a pampered chef consultant, I'm happy to share with you that our prep bowl cakes can indeed be made in the microwave as well. Simply follow the same recipe and instructions, but instead of placing the bowls in the oven, place them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until the cakes are fully cooked. Happy baking!
