Abstract
Disclosed are dry culinary mixes for use in preparing baked goods, especially microwave layer cakes. The dry mixes employ high levels of a defined nucleating agent(s). The dry mixes enable the consumer to bake a cake using microwave radiant energy comparable to a conventionally oven baked cake in quality, structure, volume, and texture. The nucleating agent can be any water insoluble minute material having a particle size of 20-200 microns. Preferred nucleating agents are particularly sized microcrystalline cellulose particles.
