Cake Disaster! Making a Lemon Microwave Cake at a Show

[quiverfull7]

I'm supposed to be making a Lemon Microwave cake this afternoon at a show. Due to circumstances beyond my control I could not test it until this AM. It's about to flow ove rthe sides of the pan. My husband could only find the Supermoist Lemon cake...so should I have put the pudding powder in as well or left it out... also in that file it doesn't say whether or not to put in the 1 1/4 cup of water but it was WAY thick before I did... so I did... HELP!!!!!!!!
This lady have been very picky and VERY specific so I want this to go well. She did a over $6000 catalog show last month and has over $250 in orders already today... I want it to go right! HELP!!!!!!!

Are you talking about the Sunshine Cake?

 

[quiverfull7]

No... this one is the lemon cake mix, pudding, sour cream , 4 eggs ,white choc chips... I just took it out... it's like LEAD. I'm pretty sure I'll leave out the pudding powder... and I think it needs the water... I HATE not knowing!

I can stop at the store if you think maybe I should change to the Lemon Sunshine one. That's with the pie filling right?

The Sunshine Cake comes out really nice...
The other cake you are talking about I dont think I've ever seen it. What cookbook is it in?

 

[quiverfull7]

OMG>>>> $600 NOT $6000 I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT's been such a BAD week for me... I am just praying I can get this dumb cake to turn out and get her show up as high as she wants it... This cake was in a Microwave Cake recipe listing ... the sunshine one was too. SO... do I make the cake mix as directed on the box for the SUnshine Cake and then dd the pie filling?

 

[quiverfull7]

Is it okay to use the Super Moist cake mix for the Sunshine cake bcause that's all we can find unless my host has something different when I get there.

 

[quiverfull7]

Here is the recipe I tried... but I put in the water and don't know if I should have... as well as the pudding in a SuperMoist mix... sigh...

You probably shouldn't have added the water. I know that some of the batters for Micro Cakes are VERY thick. The Quick Pumpkin Spice Cake has to be spooned in because it's so thick it won't pour.

The Sunshine cake says yellow cake mix, but I'm sure what you have will be fine. Do you have the recipe? Its in Casual Cooking. LOL...I gotta run to the store, just found out my party for tomorrow went up to 25 people!!!
