Please Help~ Island Breeze Rum Cake in Fluted Stone?

[cookingisfunagain]

Hi there,

I am so loving the fluted stone and large round platter.

It so flipping hot here and I want to make a dessert for our staff meeting tomorrow. I was going to make the island breeze rum cake with the mini muffin pan (this worked great for a couple shows), but I just can't bring myself to turning on the oven, and I already have all the ingredients.

Do you guys think I should modify the ingredients at all before throwing it in the fluted stone and nuking it??

I do have a little sour cream, and extra packet of pudding. Whatcha think I should do??

TIA!!!



Cake

1 package (18.75 ounces) yellow cake mix

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup water

1 egg

1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Hi there,

I love the fluted stone and large round platter too! It's such a versatile and useful piece of cookware. As for your dessert, I think using the fluted stone and nuking it instead of using the oven is a great idea. It's a quick and easy way to make a delicious treat without heating up the whole kitchen.

As for modifying the ingredients, I think you can definitely make some adjustments to make it work in the fluted stone. Instead of using a yellow cake mix, you could try using a white cake mix and adding in some coconut extract to give it that island flavor. You could also add in some extra pudding mix to make the cake more moist and flavorful.

I'm not sure about the sour cream though. It might make the cake too dense and heavy. But if you want to give it a try, you could substitute some of the oil with sour cream and see how it turns out.

Overall, I think the island breeze rum cake sounds like a delicious choice for your staff meeting. Good luck with your dessert and stay cool in this hot weather!
