Frosting on Top or Bottom for Fluted Stone Recipe?

[babywings76]

I've read a couple versions of the microwave cake recipes. I wanted to make the German chocolate cake with the coconut pecan frosting in the can. I thought I make the mix according to the pkg. directions and then use 1/2 can of the frosting in dollops on top. Then it sinks as it cooks. Right? But I read a couple recipes in the files that say differently. So how do you recommend I make it?

I think this is the only one where you put the frosting in first. The others you plop it in on top of the batter.

I I have made this a few time in the past few days
1. oil the flutted pan or use pam
2. make the cake as normal pour into pan
3. use the large scoop put 4 scoops in after you put the cake in top, bottom, left side, then right side
4. put in microwave 12min
5. let cool a few min
6. flip over the frosting ends up on the top of the cake
I have sold at 1 or 2 flutted pans at each party GREAT dessert and easy

See what I mean!

Doreen, is it the German Choc. cake that you did the frosting on top? Or are you referring to other cakes with frosting?

I second Linda, on the German Choc. Cake. A little secret I learned a long time ago is to mix 1/3 of the frosting in the cake batter (I put a little less oil like a 2 tbsp less). OMG it's to die for. I could eat the whole cake by myself.

Thanks Amanda in PA, now I am thinking about making a cake. Will Power, I don't need a cake, I don't need a cake. Ooh chocolate sounds good!

When I'm making a cake in the fluted pan I don't add the frosting at the same time. When I'm ready to garnish the cake I put the frosting in a small micro-cooker (shows another product!) and micro it for 13-15 seconds until it's drizzle consistancy.

Oh my gosh, you guys are so funny. Now I have all this advice. I think I need to go buy a bunch of cake mixes and experiment with all the ways. :chef:I called my director because I know she made this at a show recently. I'm trying it her way this time. Next time, I'll do it another way. I'll let you know how this one turns out. I mixed it according to the directions, poured it into the sprayed fluted stone (mine's not seasoned well yet), took the medium scoop and scooped about 3/4 of the frosting into blobs on the top of the batter. Microwaved it for 12 minutes. Now it's sitting for the 20-30 minutes and then we'll see how it turns out. My director told me that this frosting (coconut pecan) is the one she thinks works best with falling down through the cake.

Okay, you've all been talking about this fluted pan so much, now I know I need to buy one for me!! That german chocolate cake and icing sounds too good to be true.

We just ate it and everyone liked it. Turned out pretty moist and light. Some of the frosting still kind of stuck to the bottom of the stone, so I just scooped it with a spoon and plopped it on the top of the cake where it seemed to be missing. So overall, pretty good.
