What Pans Should I Use in the Microwave Oven?

It is important to note that you should always use microwave-safe dishes to heat or bake food in the microwave oven. For this recipe, we prefer using a silicone cake pan because they are flexible, easy to use, and are the perfect size for this batter. They are preferable but, if you do not have them on hand, don’t worry. Just find any microwave-safe dish that you use in your microwave oven and bake this cake!
