Alexandra Garrett/CNET How does a microwave cook a cake?
The microwave's history can be traced back to 1955, when the appliance was first introduced for home kitchens, but the mug cake's lineage is less clear. One of the earlier references to a microwavable dessert cooked in a coffee cup surfaced in a 2009 YouTube video titled "The most dangerous cake in the world." The woman in the video skeptically tries a recipe from her neighbor, and she concludes that it's "dangerous" because you can have a moist cake ready in less than 5 minutes any time of day.
Microwaves use super-speedy electromagnetic waves to cook the food item by vibrating the water in the food. This means cooking a cake (and other dishes) can be done much quicker in comparison to ovens, which use gas or electricity to warm up the entire inside of an oven to cook food. A plus for ovens, however, is they can also caramelize and crisp up food, creating a nice crust on baked goods. For baking cakes, this means the color and texture of your dessert will be different when cooked in a microwave instead of baked in an oven.
