Help W/Chocolate Velvet Micro Cake

[jenbaez]

Was wondering if anyone has tried the Chocolate Velvet Cake w/Strawberries in a lower wattage microwave. My host (tonight!!) has a 900 watt and I've only done it in 1000 watt, as suggested in the recipe. Common sense tells me to cook it a little longer - but I wanted to know if anyone has done this and what the results have been.... does it dry it out more? Any tips?

Try it at normal time and check it. You can always put it back in.

I haven't personally tried making the Chocolate Velvet Cake with Strawberries in a lower wattage microwave, but I have some tips that might help. First, I would suggest checking the cake periodically while it's cooking and adjusting the time accordingly. It's better to slightly undercook it and add some time than to overcook it and dry it out. Another tip is to cover the cake with a damp paper towel while microwaving to help retain moisture. And finally, if you're worried about the cake drying out, you could try adding a little bit of water or milk to the batter before cooking. Hope that helps and good luck with your dinner tonight!
