I like the idea of flipping it onto the celebrate plate:D I'm doing that next time!
 
Thanks pcjeanie...I have the SA platter and will try it!!!!
 
PCJeanie-Thanks for the suggestion of serving it on the Lg Round Stone then putting it in the woven selections!! Especially with it being the special next month!! Great idea!
 
*bump* I'm doing this recipe in an HOUR... anyone know what cookbook its from? I like to reference the cookbooks when I tell 'em what I'm making. :) Thanks!
 
As far as I know, it's just been "around" Pampered Chef for a LONG time. I don't know if it's from a cookbook. If so, it's not one that's been around for a long time.

I have made this cake at every show so far this month and still have 8 more to make! Everyone raves about it!

I have had to cook it up to 15 minutes depending on the hosts microwave. My suggestion to you is to plate it at the end of the show...I always lift the rice cooker/stone off away from guests (if this is possible) and if it isn't done, I can quickly return it to the rice cooker/stone for longer.

I am actually using the rice cooker for the cake this month because my featured recipe is the chicken enchilada ring. I never like to use stoneware twice! Just my 2 cents!

Marlene, so you leave it in longer than 10 minutes? I love the fluted stone microwave cakes! But DO find many times the tops are a bit mushy.... sometimes I just kind of scrape the top off with one swoop of a spoon (and eat, YUM! lol. Not at a show don't worry). I once flipped it right away and let it sit, but the top wasn't touching the top of the stone, so even more mushy).

I made this cake - it was yummy! But frosted it once and that was too sweet. Filled the center with strawberries another time - much better. But I think I like it as is w/o any topping best. I love the pumpkin chocolate chip cake best. :)

The "collections cd these fluted cakes should fit well on the medium or large square (anyone know which?)
 
The medium square is 10" & so is the fluted stone. So I would say either the Celebrate plate or the large SA square would work better.:D

Ginger:cool:
 
I flipped it out on the SA Med Square and it worked beautifully. The cake I made was the soda cake. I also added a couple of scoops of frosting to the batter and it all fit on the Med square. The lare sqaure is HUGE! Try it on the med.
