Are you making this for the meeting on Monday night? Please?!ChefBeckyD said:I have a DH Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix, and I think if I use that with dark chocolate chips, I will like it better!

JAE said:I e-mailed you about the meeting. Did you see it? You weren't on here at the time.
I like the --poking-- idea. -Try that-Becky----MORFIA said:my 2 cents on the cake---I used 1-2 of the morsels and 1-2 of the oil in the cake when I cooked it in the skillet---IT WAS STILL GREAT JUST SHORTEr IN TIME----Oh I also used a straw to poke holes to get the most out of the topping after it was cooked---It soaked all the way in----

Christ Follower said:So I made this all week long several different ways to get it ready for my show last night. The last couple of times I did it it came out great! SO last night I took the fluted pan off the platter after it had been sitting there for 10 minutes (like the directions say) and guess what? The top half of the cake stuck in the pan! I brushed it with oil really good too.
I gently lifted it out and placed it on top the cake and joked about gluing it together with the jam. It ended up looking beautiful at the end but OMGOSH....how embarassing! The ladies loved it and ate the whole cake so it worked out.
ljeffries said:My microwave is a small one (I can fit the pan in, but the handles will not allow the turntable to turn). My cakes (I have tried 3) have always overflowed. I just chalked it up to the wattage of my microwave.
That said, I have made this cake 2 times in the oven and LOVE it!! I think I will start doing it as a skillet cake to take less time.
chefann said:I've noticed that cakes in the microwave tend to poof up as they're cooking, and settle when the microwave turns off. Maybe your microwave is higher wattage than is recommended, and you need to turn it down a bit (like to 80% power).
Did you happen to use a hand mixer or electric mixer when mixing everything together? I've found that by not mixing it by hand puts too much air into the batter and can certainly cause overflows in the microwave.Christ Follower said:Mine overflowed too
Yes, the recipe can be baked in the oven at 350F for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
The recipe has only been tested in the microwave, but you can try using a skillet or fluted pan in the oven. We would love to know how it turns out if you do!
The cake should be baked for 50-60 minutes at 350F or until a cake tester comes out clean.
We recommend following the recipe as written for best results. Substituting ingredients may alter the final texture and taste of the cake.
The Chocolate Strawberry Velvet Cake recipe is designed for either the microwave or oven. We do not have instructions for making it without using one of these methods.
