Wow! I love your writing style on this blog, and can't wait to check my mail everyday to see if there is something from King Arthur. Just one question. Is there some type of measuring spoon that you use to measure out the 3 tbsp. of batter, or do you meticulously spoon it out with a tablespoon? (Or use a scant 1/4 cup?) Great question! For the yellow cake batter, I poured from a plastic measuring cup so I wasn't super meticulous about measuring, and for the chocolate I used a scant 1/4 cup dry measure. Both methods worked just fine. The 3 tablespoons is more of a guide about how much batter to use. Once you measure it a few times, you can eyeball it the rest of the time. Don't make yourself crazy over it though, it will still stripe up just fine. ~ MaryJane
