Cakes and Desserts
• Always use microwave-safe ceramic, glass or plastic utensils.
• Before adding measured amount of batter, grease bottoms and sides of dishes, but do not flour. Or, for
easy removal, line dish with wax paper or paper towel.
• Cakes are done when toothpick or long skewer stuck in center comes out clean.
• Crust on cakes will be soft. Refrigerate cake if firm exterior is desired for frosting.
