Can you make a mug cake with this recipe?
Yes, you can pour the hazelnut sponge cake batter in mugs if you want to bake them in a mug. However, unlike other mug cakes, you cannot mix the ingredients in the mug as you need to whip them in Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Dispenser. Baking the cake in mugs will take a bit more time so that you can give up to 40 – 60 seconds. The cake will not rise much after baking because we have not added any leavening agents. But you should not fill the cup to the rim as it may cause spillage.
How can I make hazelnut cake without an oven?
There is no need to worry if you don’t have an oven; you can easily enjoy the cakes baked in your microwave. You can save a lot of time baking in the microwave as it heats the food very rapidly. Microwave ovens use microwave radiations for cooking the foods from inside, but they tend to make them drier in texture.
How to set the right temperature for baking in a microwave?
When using a microwave oven for baking a cake, it is essential to set the right temperature for baking. In a microwave that has a convection mode, you can set the temperature to 180 degrees.
If it is a simple microwave oven, then turn the power to 100%. In most microwave ovens available in the market, it is power level 10 that you will need for baking cakes.
How much time is required to bake a cake in the oven?
If you bake the cake in regular cake pans, it will require 10 to 15 minutes to cook properly from inside at 180 degrees or power level 10. However, when you distribute the cake batter in small cups, it will take just a few seconds in baking.
Can you make a cake in a microwave oven without eggs?
