Microwave cooking time needed

Sep 27, 2003 2 Replies

Hello



My oven has just broken down on me and I am trying to cook a fat free fruit cake. It occurred to me that I could perhaps do it in the microwave instead in my Pyrex dish, but I am not sure of cooking times at all. I don't want to waste the mix as I have not got enough ingredients to try again. Please can someone advise me on cooking times for an 800w Microwave?



The ingredients are as follows:


475g mashed bananas
2 medium eggs
150g brown sugar
150g sultanas
200g self-raising flour

Combine all ingredients and beat until a smooth mix. Then divide between 2



1lb (400g) loaf tins. Cook in a normal electric oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

All advice appreciated.



Thank you

I would check it after 45 minutes and every 7-10 minutes thereafter.

Sorry, that should have been 20 minutes!
