ChefMoore said:I tried making the microwave cake in the heart dish last night. I didn't have any frosting so I left that out, but still used the cake mix, pudding mix, egg, oil and water. I put it in the microwave for 1 min 10 seconds but it still had some "wet" looking spots so I put it back in for 30 more seconds. When that still didn't help I just assumed it might be the way the pudding in the mix is supposed to get. Since this was my first time trying a microwave cake at all, I wasn't sure. Does this sound right to you? I just wanted to be sure it wasn't the wet batter still, since there's a raw egg in it and I'm pregnant I didn't want to eat any raw batter.
