The recipe in JEI shows that you have to heat up the basin with a Blaze Burner. The problem is, you need a Crushing Wheel to crush Netherrack to get flour to craft the Blaze Cake Base. I also tried to combine crushed Copper + Zinc + Blaze Rod but the mixer won't fire when I put that into a basin. Can anybody help me?

You can feed the blaze burner coal or other furnace fuel to burn normally, the blaze cake is for super-heated recipes

Thank you!
