What's the secret behind this successful Batter Bowl Microwave Cake?

Hi. I'm a newbie here. Just wanted to say how excited I am, trying all of these recipes. I just tried the Batter Bowl Microwave cake and it turned out great. It should't have but it did. I had a lemon cake mix that had been on the shelf for quite a few months. I thought I would give it a try using the batter bowl since I did not have the Rice Cooker plus. Did not put icing in the bowl. I cooked it for 12 minutes, rotating it every 3 minutes since I do not have a turntable in my microwave. I took it out of the Microwave and eyed it up.Hmmmmmm...not too impressive I thought....let it sit for 5 minutes.....turned it out on the plate and it looked like a beehive...kinda cute I thoght...Whipped up some lemon flavoured icing....decorated it with cute little stars...cut into it.....???.....it tasted GREAT!! Very Dense. I could see how people would love it in chocolate. I'm allergic to chocolate so I made do with another flavour. Will have to try the chocolate hazelnut out on my friends. I'm soo pleased it worked out. I'm practising my recipes for my first two parties next week. I've got my fingers crossed that everything will work out ok. Still haven't decided what to make as my demo recipe????

batter bowlIn the large batter bowl? I've been doing them in the stoneware fluted bundt pan (don't have a rice cooker or micro cooker). Did you do it according the the cake box directions or according to the microwave cake directions?

I followed the recipe on the back of a boxed cake mix. I added eggs, oil and water. My cake did not have pudding in the mix. I used the large batter bowl and the mix baked up close to the top but did not overflow. I haven't tried it in the micro cooker, that will come next. it is definitely rounded when it comes out onto the plate but it looks really pretty after you icing it and garnish it. I would definitely recommend it to customers! It was great to make a cake without turning on the oven. The cake is small but high, so when you cut it , it makes a nice presentation on the plate. Hmmm now I need to earn some simple additions plates and platter to show these cakes on. Good Luck!
