    Welcome to my first real disaster. This has now had 11 minutes as after 9 the middle was still not done:

    So, any uses for wrecked cake? :confused: :rotfl:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I've just had a go at the microwave version. I can't recommend it. :(

    The recipe says 9 minutes on high. I've a 750W microwave, and this is the result after just over 4 minutes:

    Any idea what I might have done wrong? :confused:

    The dish is as big as that required - 8 inches across and at least 4 pint capacity.

    I've not made many cakes in the microwave but the sponge puddings I've have made needed to be covered with clingfilm.

    Welcome to my world!! EVERYTHING I cook turns out looking like that :rotfl:

    Give it to the trick or treaters???
  • Have a look in a microwave cookbook for a cake with similar quantities and see what their cooking instructions are. I would have thought it might have been better to cook it individually ie sandwich tins (or m/w version)

    Hmm, I don't know what's wrong there, but I'll have a wee go and let you know my results.

    I am also going to make one in the oven and decorate in and all, 'cos it's pretty :)

  • I have made one this afternoon & it looks/smells lovely :-)

    How am I supposed to wait 2 days....????????
    Will get one of DD's to make some "normal" cakes in the meantime..!

    :eek: Yes you do! It says so in the recipe! :p

  • It's wrapped up and I am waiting patiently...!!! DD has made another chocolate cake to have for now :)

    Do you cut it in half & put icing in it - or on top of it??
