In summary, the best type of chocolate to use for a chocolate peanut butter cake is a high-quality dark chocolate. You can also substitute almond butter for peanut butter, prevent the cake from sticking to the pan by properly greasing and flouring it, and make the cake more moist by adding sour cream or yogurt to the batter or brushing it with simple syrup.

:love: And I SO want to try that chocolate peanut butter cake that came with it!:love:

Only thing is, I cannot wrap my brain around baking a cake for an hour, especially in my oven, and especially at a show!

Can this cake be baked in the microwave?

Also ... what is a good way to season it?
 
I haven't made that cake but I can't see why you couldn't do it in the microwave (13-15 minutes).

Season it by brushing oil on it every time you use it. Mine is well seasoned but I still put a little oil on it each time because it has so many edges.
 
I'm thinking some garlic salt and Italian seasoning would be good, but I'm open to suggestions!Thank you!Hi there! I'm glad you're excited to try out the baking kit. Unfortunately, I don't think the cake can be baked in the microwave as it requires a consistent and even heat source to properly rise and cook through. However, you can try experimenting with a smaller portion of the cake batter in a microwave-safe dish to see if it works for you. As for seasoning, garlic salt and Italian seasoning sounds like a great combination. You can also try sprinkling some Parmesan cheese on top before baking for added flavor. Happy baking!
