8 minute cake. amazing.

I gotta give credit to Marisa Nielsen and her family for sharing this incredible idea. And wherever she learned it from, kudos to you..and whoever you learned it from...etc. This is ABSOLUTELY one the best inventions in the history of cake making. Once you try it- you'll never look at a cake mix, tub of frosting, bowl and microwave the same! Here we go!

NEEDS:

Cake Mix (any flavor)

Tub of frosting (that compliments your cake)

Oil

Eggs

Water

Lg. microwave safe plastic bowl

Large cookie sheet (with a brim- think sheet cake pan.)

Little brother in picture, optional.

(he was used in the making of this cake, to prove that ANYONE can do this.)

Step 1: make the cake according to the directions on the back of the box. Mix in the plastic bowl.

Step 2: Empty the container of frosting directly into the middle of the cake batter, as shown:

                                                   

Step 3: Put it in the microwave for 8 minutes.

Step 4: Behold the glory of what comes out of the microwave....Mmmmm! Let it sit for about 2 mins.

Step 4: Place the cookie sheet on top of the bowl and invert.

 (that means flip over)

Step 5: Lift bowl. Careful- steam is HOT.

Step 6: Marvel at the awesomeness, smell the incredible aroma, shove other guests out of the way and move in with intent to eat and destroy- fork in hand.

I hope the 8 minute cake brings as much joy to your family as it has to ours. We pretty much make them every weekend. Yep. Get r done. Our favorite flavor combination is Devils food cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Others have raved about the Lemon cake with Vanilla. It's your cake. Party on.
