Question: Lemon Supreme Microwave Cake

[crsnlsa]

Just wondering if anyone else has tried the Lemon Supreme Microwave Cake? I made it the other day with just the three ingredients, Dry Cake mix, 3 eggs and lemon pie filling. It tasted great however there were tiny brown spots in the cake that looked like it may have been burning. It seemed really dry when I was mixing it so I added just a bit of water. I'm wondering if I was suppose to ad the water and oil to the cake mix as well? I am suppose to make this cake at a show tomorrow and want to make sure I am cooking it right. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried the Lemon Supreme Microwave Cake myself, but it sounds like you may have added too much water. If the mix was dry, adding a bit of water is fine, but you didn't need to add oil. You may want to reduce the amount of water slightly if you're making it again. Another thing you can do to make sure it doesn't burn is to reduce the cooking time. Start with the recommended time and then check after that to see if it's done. If not, continue to cook in small intervals until it's finished.

I haven't tried the Lemon Supreme Microwave Cake, but it sounds like an interesting recipe! As for the brown spots, it's possible that the cake was burning in the microwave. Did you follow the cooking time and instructions exactly? It's also possible that the dryness was due to not adding the water and oil to the cake mix. I would suggest trying it again with the water and oil added to see if that makes a difference. Good luck with the show tomorrow!
