The cakes I bake in my microwave dont rise and turn out hard and rubbery. Even the built in convection does not give the same results like that of a traditional baking oven.Can you please help me! How do I bake cakes and cookies in a microwave? Also if you tell me how I can use the convection and grill for best results.

A turntable is an advantage for even baking, but otherwise the cake must be turned once or twice during cooking to ensure an even rise.

If you want a decent cake: use an oven. Microwaves are quick at cooking, but don't give the quality of oven baked.

I make cakes in the microwave how I do it is:
4oz (113g) flour
4oz (113g) marg
4oz (113g) sugar
2 medium size eggs.
Whisk everything together in a bowl until mixture turns white (then you know it has loads of air in it). Turn into a dish and cook on med. for 3 mins, then add extra 1 min check if its not cooked add another min, It should look cooked on the top but slightly less cooked on the sides

microwave consume a lot of electric energy and it's used to heat up ready made meals,,,,, while the oven is hot and dry the cooking process is slow,,,,, the microwave when used make all the water evaporate in a very short time,,,, making your meal somehow dry,,,,, it's why you always add a bit of water when you want to de-freeze some kind of food,,,, like peas for example,,, and why you always remove the cover of the plastic container when you heat your dishes

You're probably overcooking them. Try a lower power level. Also, tryputting the bowl on a saucer so that it isn't in contact with the turntable.
People who say that things can't be cooked properly in a micrwoave oven just don't know how to do it.

you can bake cakes in a microwave, the secret is the mixture needs to be more runnier. add a bit more milk. also they wont keep for as long.

Add extra moisture, or use specific recipes designed to be used with a microwave.
The best cakes still come out of an oven...mmmmm......
