I just tested it, and it came out terrific!

Last time I was at a show, my rice cooker did not fit in the microwave, so I wanted to be sure to have a Plan B. I figure the Small Batter Bowl will likely fit in even the tinest of microwaves, even if the Rice Cooker does not.

This is great news for new consultants - the Lg Batter Bowl is in the Starter Kit.

Here's what I did to make a yummy lemon cake (my husband will not eat chocolate) - 1st I sprayed the BB w/ Pam

I put 1/2 can lemon frosting in the bottom of the BB.

I wisked 1 can of Leomon/Lime Soda with Yellow Cake Mix in a seperate bowl, then poured it on top of the frosting.

In my microwave, it took 9 minutes.

It's also a great response to those who have issues cooking in plastic.
 
Sounds yummy...

did you use ONLY lemon/lime soda and the cake mix, or did you use eggs and all the other stuff?? Just want to make sure before I try it so it's not disgusting! Thanks!!
 
You didn't cover it, right? No splatter at all?
 
THANK YOU!!I will be soooo using this for my salon show :) Thanks :D

No eggs, just the soda. I know it sounds crazy but it works. It has been a popular Weight Watchers recipie for years (using diet soda). Instead of putting the frosting into the mix, they top it with fat free/sugar free cool whip, and you can whisk in sugar free pudding or jello to flavor the topping. Cut into 12 slices, it's 4 points (if I remember correctly). You can also bake just the cake batter part in the oven and get a great cake.

This is terrific if you have vegetarians who don't eat eggs, or people with egg allergies or cholesterol and fat issues etc.

And no, I did not cover it, just put the batter bowl right in the microwave.
 
Well, I can't say the lemon appeals to me..If you did do chocolate, would you still use the same kind of soda?? :> I'd love to see pics if anyone tries this..
 
That sounds yummy!! I have many clients on weight watchers- I'll have to try this at home.
