pudding in microwave

if you are making pudding just use the microwave and if things get thick use a wire whisk to smooth the pudding out. works great, no double boiler and cooks really fast.

How about a sponge cake. When my mom would make an angel food cake, she would also make the sponge cake with the egg yolks. I liked the sponge cake better than the angelfood cake.

It does look yummy but I think you suggestion of a mix is a good idea. No sense in reinventing the wheel and the mixes of today a quite good.
In the old days when I did an Angel Food cake from scratch, I used the 12 yolks is what I called my Heart Attack cake. Took a recipe for Hot Milk Sponge cake and replaced the 6 whole eggs with the 12 yolks and it was great. . . but I do think I would go with the mix. I would guess it's just as good and I know it's a lot healthier.

How about noodles or a sponge cake? A pound cake? Custard?

My SIL made chocolate pudding cake when we visited earlier this month in Indiana. She melted chocolate squares, beat 6 egg yolkes really well, and poured the choc. in with the egg yolks, continuing to beat them. Added vanilla.
I really hope this works. It is a wonderful flourless chocolate cake. Oops, I just read that you used the egg whites, too! I didn't remember that. Well, it is still a great cake.
