Look for the Duncan Hines cupcake mixes instead. They are with the cake mixes, and usually towards the top shelf at my stores. But those are the same size as a Jiffy mix, and typically easier to find I have found.
I posted in the New Recipes thread that I want to try to make the lemon cherry crumble cake in the RCB by using a smaller cake mix. It would be perfect for a small family to avoid tons of leftovers!

Okay, I apologize in advance for being annoying
:But, just to clarify, you bought a Jiffy mix, mixed it according to the directions on the box, poured it in the RCB, plopped the frosting on (1/2 tub?), covered it and microwaved it for 4 minutes, THEN glazed it once it was done baking?

I also wanted to make an anti pasta salad for just my husband and myself, so I put 1 cup of elbow macaroni and 1 1/4 cups of water in it and microwaved it for 8 minutes and the pasta was cooked and hardly any water left in dish. If cooking in smaller quantities this is great

Nicely done, I was just popping in to share my results as well. Halving my original recipe works well and I also reduced the mixing, kneading and punching down time by about 25% to avoid overworking the smaller loaf size
Looks like we have a fabulous new multifunction piece that doubles as a bread machine.

I attempted an entire box as an experiment tonight, let me just say. Don't do it unless your microwave already needs cleaning! I stopped mine at about 5 minutes and the mix had already gone all over the turntable and underneath it. It wasn't hard to clean up, just don't know how much further it would have gone if I had left it going.

Yep, that's what I did as well, halved the recipe and reduced preparation times by about 25%. It's beautiful. And anyone realize that the Artichoke Dip Bread Bowl.... Um... here's your HOMEMADE bread for THAT!
