Keto cakes and sweet pies in the microwave are prepared with the needs of a low-carb base in mind. The microwave heats food quickly from within and is convenient for small portions, reheating, melting cheese, setting a base, or short cooking with minimal dishes. Use microwave-safe cookware, work in short bursts, and let the dish rest after heating.

Gentle heat, stable shape, and a soft filling or crust texture are especially important without wheat flour or sugar.
