You can, but they are not as nice and they dont brown. There are recepies and times, just look at Google

There are heaps of recipes on the net and everyone posting them says that they are just as good as a thermal oven - see :

Do not believe them. They lie like hounds.
I am a reasonably good cook and I have never made one out of the microwave that was anything more than disappointing. If you must do this, get a microwave cake dish - looks like a big do-nut mould - fairly cheap from supermarkets.

You should have some recipes in your book that came with the microwave oven. But everyone is right, microwaves don't brown

No, but you can bake a very successful cake in the microwave on microwave setting and the later just brown the top in the microwave using the grill function

I wouldnt use a microwave oven, but do you have one of those portable roasting ovens... they work wonders and they are cheap.

IT TAKES RADIANT HEAT , AS FROM A STANDARD OVEN, TO GET THE BROWNING ON THE SURFACE. THERE ARE RECEPIES FOR CAKES ON THE MW, BUT THEY'RE NEVER AS GOOD AS STANDARD OVENS.

Yes and there are newer models that have the ability to brown.

No, the edges will almost always get hard before the inside cooks. no good.
