It depends on your microwave.....mine is pretty high-power and I nuke them for 11 mins at 80% power.....I usually wind-up tossing them tough b/c I'm a cake snob and I don't like the texture of the micro-cakes. I do like the peanutty chocloate micro cake though (I think this is from Carolyn) and it is very good....I step down from my cake snob podium and make this one from time to time....very good!finley1991 said:Since I never wrote this down I'm trying to remember from memory...
