Recipe: Baking a Cake in a Roaster Oven - Almond Pound Cake, and Nesco Roaster Oven Manuals and Recpes

Desserts - Cakes
Hi Darlene,

I haven't baked a cake in a roaster oven, but from recipes I've seen, you need to preheat it to the oven temperature for the cake (350 for boxed cake mix), make the cake batter as usual and place in greased pan(s) that will fit inside the oven. Place pans in the oven (place them on a rack if you have one) and bake for the time of the original recipe. For a layer cake you may need to bake one pan at a time. I would start checking 5 minutes before the expected done time. I've added a recipe below for you to compare to one you may use.

As for the Nesco instructions - I don't know about the 8 quart oven, but here the manuals Nesco offers online (the 18 quart oven manual includes a more extensive baking chart):

Nesco 18 Quart Roaster Oven Manual (click here)

Nesco 6 Quart Roaster Oven Manual (click here)

One note is that in the basic baking instructions the manual instructs to use the temperature on the package mix but in the baking chart it calls for setting the roaster oven to 375 degrees for a packaged cake mix (I would go with the 350 degrees and just bake a little longer if necessary).

To contact Nesco directly: 1-800-288-4545

Happy Baking!
