How did cake taste with no oven?
Without an oven, it'd be nearly impossible to bake the cake at all. It would probably just taste like the raw batter.More information:In areas and eras when ovens were not available, cooks developed ingenious methods of baking. One method was the Dutch Oven, which is a large, deep heavy pot, often of cast iron. The cook could grease the pot well and pre-heat it over an open fire or in a large fireplace. The cake batter (probably thicker than batter used in conventional ovens) would go right into the heated pot, then the lid would be put on top and covered with hot coals so that the cake would heat from all sides. It required a skillful cook to know how to maintain the right level of heat and to know when the cake would be done.The resulting cake might not have been as light and fluffy as the mix cakes we have, but it would have been sweet, moist and delicious.Another type of cake that is baked without an oven is the griddle cake or pan cake. I suspect you know how that tastes.
