This cake is DELICIUOS!!!! YUMMY!!! FANTASTIC!!!! get my drift?
I know...tell me about it! Even my director is giving me a hard time! I tell ya though....it is sooooooo good! It took me about a week, but I managed to eat 3/4 of this thing all by myself! I'm making it for our monthly cluster meeting tomorow evening and using it at my Jan & Feb shows to help promote stoneware! If it works for Carolyn then it can work for me too!jdavis said:OMG, Linda of all people suggesting a boxed cake, LMAO!!!!!
dannyzmom said:Someone needs to test-drive that peanutty chocolate cake recipe using regular batter (not the sour cream and eggs version) and see what happens. I find the recipe-version is just too dry & dense for me.
I think you just need to cook it less than the directions say to. I only cooked mine for 10 minutes, Plus, I have a high wattage microwave so I lowered the power to 80%....mine was moist and delicious! I think it's the sour cream that does the trick! Makes it not taste like it came from a box.Ginger428 said:You think it will be moister without them?

Why don't you just ask them if their micro is a high-power one or a regular one? Or maybe just test it after about 10 mins with the cake tester or a tooth-pick? Or, I think that it's supposed to be listed just inside the door. I'm not sure but I think an average wattage is like @ 900 ???? I think mine is about 1100 ???? maybe??? I don't know maybe someome else can answer?dannyzmom said:I am afriad to cook it less time in other people's mike's -- because u just never know the wattage and God fordid it comes out as a pile of mush I'd be mortified. Anytime I do microcakes using the regualar oil water & eggs recipe it comes out moist no matter what
pamperedlinda said:Hey Jilleysue - I like your new picture!
I just made this one again for my cluster meeting tonight and I made a big mistake! Instead of spraying my Fluted Stone with oil I used Baker's Joy....what a MESS!!! Not only did my cake stick to the pan, it's got this pasty looking white gunk all over it - yuck! (in case you are wondering why I didn't use my spritzer....it's got olive oil in it....I really need to get another one) Oh well, just sent DH to the store for more sour cream so I can do it again. DH was happy about the mistake though - now he gets to eat some!
I'm trying that one next....oh my....Could I be a box-mix-micro-cake convert?Jilleysue said:Oh god...Too funny Linda. I did the same thing last night with my Killer Cake, but it came out ok Thank god. I think I will Make a cake for my cluster meeting. I really enjoy doing them. Thanks for the pic compliment. I thought I would change it up a bit. I love new pics every now and then. The killer cake was sooo moist with the pudding, eggs, oil and sourcream and chocolate chips...was totally a hit.

Ginger428 said:I stared at this for months, finally I made it & I think it is WONDERFUL!!!
I'm thinking about using it in my Feb. shows.....& it is EASY to make!!
1 (6 1/2 oz) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained 2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/3 cup sliced deli hard salami, chopped 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup red bell pepper, chopped 4 oz fresh Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pitted ripe olives, sliced 2 (11.3 oz) pkg refrigerated dinner rolls
Preheat oven to 375. Spray Stoneware Fluted Pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place artichokes on paper towels; pat dry. Chop artichokes, salami and bell pepper using Food Chopper; place in 1 quart Batter Bowl. Slice olives using Egg Slicer Plus. Add olives and garlic pressed with Garlic Press to Batter Bowl; mix lightly and set aside. Melt butter in Covered Micro Cooker on HIGH 30 seconds. Using Deluxe Cheese Grater, grate Parmesan cheese into Class Batter Bowl. Separate dinner rolls and cut each into quarters using Kitchen Shears.
