Can I bake a cake in a metal mixing bowl?

It could get tricky because it may not be done in the middle. In a cake pan it's never very thick but in a bowl it will be way thick. Lower the temp of the oven and watch it so it doesn't burn.

If you mean cook the cake in the same bowl you mixed it in, don't do it. The cake will stick to the bowl and you'll never get it out in one piece.

If you prepare a mixing bowl with shortening and flour and then pour the batter in, I don't see why it would not work. The cooking time might be a bit screwy, but it will bake.
