Recipe
Microwave Baking Directions: In 8" glass pan assemble any cake as directed. Microwave on high, rotating dish twice, about 5 minutes or until almost done. (If your microwave has a turntable you don't need to turn the cake.) The edges should still look slightly moist. Let stand 10 minutes on countertop (the cake will continue to cook.) Serve warm or allow cake to cool in pan. Please note: a microwaved cake tends to be drier when served cool.
