Hi there
Yes - almost certainly... some "microwave recipes" use less oil or butter so I would add about 25% more than the original recipe and cook for about 20-25 mins on about 180 - keep an eye on it and use a metal stick or knife - insert into the middle of the cake and remove slowly - if there is no "sticky goo" on the knife, then you're done...
Good luck

What the heck is Naff?
Yes you can cook a microwave cake in the Oven but use low heat and watch it closely.
You might want to poke it with holes with half cooked and spray cooking oil on it cause some
Microwave cake recipes use less oil. Then finish cooking in Oven! Why not just use a regukar carrot cake recipe. You can get plenty
from the internet see: www.MyFreeRecipes.com just ask for carrot cake recipes!

Find a similiar carrot cake recipe that cooks by oven and compare ingredients. If they are the same then there is no conversion needed. I suspect that a microwave recipe will have a tad more moisture to it.
See the link below and see if the recipe is similiar to your microwave one.

Probably, but it might only need to be in the oven for a much shorter time than it says to put it in the microwave for 0 especially if you have a fan bake oven.
Sounds like a dodgy recipe for cake!

Any cooking, but especially a cake is always best in the conventional oven. Just adjust the heat setting to your oven.

Yes you can but you will need to keep checkig on it till it looks ready and when you put a knife through the middle it is set so you know it is cooked, it will take longer in the oven.

yes if you make the mixture a little less wet as microwave cakes tend to use more liquid
