Urgent Gluten Free Cake in the Microwave?

[kristina16marie]

I'm doing a show today and the host has celiac disease. I bought a gluten free box cake but does anyone have experience making these in the microwave? Is the cooking time in the same?

I've never done one in the microwave, but I've baked several GF cakes in the oven. They bake the same way in the oven. I know that Sarah has done the GF cake in the micro for a show, and it was a huge hit...and she didn't say anything about having to do it any differently. If the baking instructions on the back of the box are the same time-wise, I'd say it would be the same for the micro cake as well.

Thanks Becky! I was nervous but it came out great. Everyone loved it.

That's good to know! Which one did you do?

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I have some experience with gluten-free baking. I would recommend using our Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix and following the instructions for baking in the oven. However, if you do want to try making it in the microwave, I would suggest reducing the cooking time by a few minutes and checking the cake for doneness with a toothpick. Every microwave is different, so it's important to keep an eye on it. I hope your show goes well and your host enjoys the gluten-free option! Happy baking!
