PEARL CHATS: Of all our single-serve cakes, this might have to take first place as my favorite. It is so fluffy and buttery (even though it does not have a lot of butter), and the crumb resembles that of a boxed cake. It has that perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Super Sweet Blend works well in this particular cake as it offsets the tartness of the lemon, so that is great if you are on a tight budget. But if you are a loyal Gentle Sweet user, just double up on the amount called for. To Serene’s dismay, I actually prefer the microwave version. This recipe is in the "Sweet Treats - Quick Single-Serve Cakes" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 289.
