Notes

Recipe Notes
  • Every microwave is different, so it's hard to say exactly how long to cook your funfetti cake. Start at 70-80 seconds the first time, and then add on time from there if you need it!
  • The cake usually takes a minute or two to completely set, so let it cool off before eating.
  • It's best to remove the cake from the microwave earlier than you'd expect, because you want the cake to be a little softer in the middle, and it will continue to cook as it cools!
