How can I make a cake at home without an oven?

Answer 1

Make one in a crockpot! Here's 3 recipes to get you started.


Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pudding Cake

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter-flavored pieces
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
2 tablespoons chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions
In a mixing bowl stir together flour, the 1/2 cup sugar, the 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla; stir until batter is smooth. Stir in the peanut butter pieces. Spread batter evenly in the bottom of a greased 3 1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker.

In another mixing bowl combine the 3/4 cup sugar and the 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Stir together boiling water and peanut butter; stir into the cocoa mixture. Pour evenly over the batter in the crockery cooker.

Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted 1 inch into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let stand, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes to cool slightly.

To serve, spoon pudding cake into dessert dishes. Sprinkle with peanuts. If desired, serve with ice cream.

Crockpot Gold Cake

2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
6 eggs

Mace can be substituted for the nutmeg.

Set crockpot at High 20 minutes before beginning.

Fit in liner.

Butter and flour 8-cup-capacity baking tin.

Mix flour, cream of tartar, and salt; set aside.

Cream butter, then add sugar, vanilla, and mace. Beat until fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after each. Blend in flour mixture; do not overmix.

Spread in tin, and put on lid or lay terry towel over it.

Put in crockpot, cover and bake 3 hours or until cake has begun to pull from sides.

Uncover. Let stand in tin on cake rack about 10 minutes, then turn out to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar, slice and serve.

Two secrets for cake-baking in crockpot: use less than 1 c sugar for every 2 c flour. And use a liner.

Crockpot Beer Cake
2/3 C. butter
1 1/2 C. brown sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 C. flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 C. beer
1 C. chopped walnuts
1 C. dried cranberries or raisins

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time mix well. Add flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg to creamy mixture alternately with beer. Stir in walnuts and raisins.

Pour mixture into well buttered and floured cake pan that will fit into crockpot. Cover tin with four or five paper towels. Put into pot. Put lid on crockpot loosely to allow steam to escape.

Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or until cake is done.

Remove pan from pot and allow cake to cool on wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Note: A old coffee can works great to bake a crockpot cake in...

Answer 2

If you have a cast iron (a very heavy black pan) it is possible with a bit of practice to cook a decent cake. I used to make a very good cornbread recipe this way. first of all, I would do a thinner cake (less bater) so that it cooks through more quickly without burning the bottom. for instance a 10 inch pan would take half a standard cake mix. cokk the other half aftetrwards. grease the pan well and cook over a low heat cover it with foil or a snug fiiting top. Resist the urge to keep looking at it.....the steam that is trapped helps to cook it. Let it cook for at least 20 minutes before checking. cool and then put a large plate over the top and flip it over. You may need to loosen it a bit with a knife or thin spatula first. You could then cover with frosting. I've steamed English puddings too. It really is a cake, but the English call it a pudding. I would go online and see the how to's for steaming a "pudding".

Answer 3

Believe it or not, the Easy Bake Oven has evolved...you can make some pretty neat cakes and things in there. They also have a cookbook. I saw this on the Food Network, and I wanted to buy one again.

Answer 4

LIke the lady said, you can do it in a crockpot. Also my breadmaker came with cake recipes, if you happen to have one of those..... If you've got a good casserole dish or frypan, here's a link to website with cakes cooked on the stove top - I haven't tried these so good luck.... I saw one done on an Australian cooking programme but can't find it on their website, which is a shame. It was an upside down cake with apricots in a bit of sugar syrup, with ordinary cake batter poured on top (over the back of a spoon so that it spread nicely not just sank straight to the bottom) then I think they cooked it with the lid on. At least you can poke at it and see easily how its cooking....

Answer 5

I just made this the other day and it is a great summet recipe. Add a can of drained pineapple to a tub of the light cool whip and spread over angel food cake or sponge cake, Top with strawberries. It is good for you, sugar free and isnt too rich.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Tupperware has a product that you can bake a cake in the microwave. Sorry can't tell you the name of the bakeware, but any Tupperware consultant can tell you.

Answer 8

Read the box to see if the cooking time can be altered to use a microwave. Also if this is possible use a square pan only, a microwave won't cook in a rectangle pan, the center won't cook.

Answer 9

make an extra tasty/sweet pancake batter and put in a lot of baking powder and then treat the mixture as you would a normal pancake - its yummy!
