Im confused when i make a mullerlight cous cous cake i can pop it in the microwave for 10mins.
I want to make a mincemeat one and the only recipes i can find say bake it for 40 mins.
why cant i microwave it!?
 
Maybe because mincemeat gets really hot, really fast in the microwave, and as microwaves cook food from the inside out, it might make the cake explode or something!
 
I make a weetabix cake with mincemeat and cook it in the microwave so I'm sure it will be ok.....give it a whirl!

i made a chocolate orange one anyway couldnt be bothered to put the oven on just for that i'd be waiting forever....

please can i have the recipe for the above cake

thanks

Sure!!
All I do is mush 2 weetabix biscuits (1 x HE B) in some boiled water. Be careful not to make it too 'wet'
Sprinkle in some sweetener to your taste
Add some mixed spice, again, to your own taste
Mix in 1 or 2 tblsp of mincemeat (1 tblsp = 2 syns)
Lastly, thoroughly mix in 1 egg.
You should have what resembles a cake mixture.

Bung in the microwave until cooked!(a few minutes, I just keep on checking)

Tastes lovely, just like bread pudding.
