Microwave ovens with temperature settings of low, medium, and high are typically not designed for baking cakes in the traditional sense. Microwave ovens primarily use microwaves to cook food quickly and efficiently, which is different from the baking process in a conventional oven.
Baking cakes usually requires a specific temperature control, even heat distribution, and a dry environment, which are characteristics not typically associated with microwave baking. Cakes baked in a microwave tend to have a different texture and may not brown or develop a crisp crust like those baked in a traditional oven.
However, if your microwave has a convection or combination mode that includes a baking feature, it may offer better results for baking cakes. In this case, the temperature setting would typically be provided in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, rather than low, medium, and high.
If you are using a microwave with temperature settings and are determined to attempt baking a cake, it's best to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or any specific recipes designed for microwave baking that came with the appliance. These resources may provide guidelines on which temperature setting to use for cakes or other baked goods.
In general, for baking cakes, it is recommended to use a conventional oven that allows precise temperature control and provides the ideal baking environment for consistent and reliable results.
