<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: The Case for the Oven
It seems silly to think about baking a cake in a bread machine--after all, by its very name, the machine is made for bread. It has settings to knead and bake; it will combine ingredients for you; and it will allow dough to rise for the proper amount of time. It can also provide enough heat for the bread to bake without an oven.
On the Other: The Case for the Bread Machine
Many of the bread machine's settings and operations are the same as those needed to bake a cake. Of course, due to a cakes' varied shapes and ingredients, it won't work to bake all cake recipes in a bread machine, but many variations work just fine. Some bread machines even have a "cake" setting.
Bottom Line
Yes, you can bake cakes in your bread machine. To ensure best results, however, seek out cake recipes that are designed for baking in a bread machine.
