To bake a cake perfectly in your IFB 30BRC2 microwave, you can follow these general guidelines:
Preheat the microwave: Preheating is not necessary for microwave baking. Instead, you can simply start the baking process immediately after setting up the cake batter.
Choose the right microwave-safe container: Use a microwave-safe cake pan or dish that is suitable for baking. Ensure that it fits comfortably inside your microwave oven without touching the walls or the top of the oven. It's best to use a round or square microwave-safe dish with a flat bottom.
Prepare the cake batter: Follow your desired cake recipe and prepare the batter according to the instructions. Be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency.
Fill the cake pan: Pour the cake batter into the prepared microwave-safe container. Leave some space for the cake to rise during baking, as it may expand.
Set the power and time: Consult your recipe for specific instructions on the power level and time required. For example, you may need to bake the cake at a medium power level (around 50-70%) for a specified time. Adjust the power level and time accordingly based on your recipe.
Start the baking process: Place the filled cake pan in the center of the microwave oven and close the door. Set the appropriate power level and time on your microwave. Start with the recommended time in the recipe and check for doneness later. It's important to note that microwave wattage can vary, so you may need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
Check for doneness: Use a toothpick or a cake tester to check if the cake is done. Insert it into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is ready. If it comes out with wet batter, continue baking for a little longer.
Let it cool: Once the cake is done, remove it from the microwave and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Remember, microwave baking may result in a slightly different texture compared to conventional oven baking. It's a good idea to experiment and adjust the recipe and baking time based on your microwave oven's performance and your personal preferences.
