Have you tried making a lava cake in a rice cooker?

[Cheflee87]

I am a 10 year PC consultant. I dialed back to catalog and fundraisers after son #4 was born 7 years ago and am doing well that way (what I consider well). A teacher at the school where I substitute went to a show with her DD and they showed a lava-type cake in the rice cooker using chocolate icing IN the cake. She has tried it and it always overflows or doesn't cook correctly. Anyone have this recipe? I looked at the Warm Choc. Hazelnut recipe and that's not it. Thanks for any input!

You just mix up a regular box cake with the ingredients (listed on the box). Glop half of a jar of frosting on top and throw it in the microwave for about 10 minutes without the lid.

She might have used a whole jar of frosting...it can't be whipped frosting either. Or she left the lid on.

Thanks Cindy!

I will email her the suggestions and hope that it was one of those situations! I really appreciate the help (and now I'll have to try the recipe too LOL)

It's delicious! You must try it! You can also make it in the Fluted Stone. Then you get to use the whole jar of frosting. Yum!! (also add a few minutes to the time)

I always make mine with the lid on! You microwave it for 9 minutes, too. Comes out wonderful and pudding-y.

However, if she has a super-powerful microwave (like mine!), she needs to put it on 80% power, otherwise it will start to overflow and push the top off.

At my kitchen show yesterday, the host bought confetti cake (althought I totally forgot the confetti to the cake) and vanilla frosting. I put half the tub of frosting in a floured rice cooker, then separately stirred together cake mix and 1 can pepsi (12oz) and it came out fantastic!-Guest were totally amazed. This was my first time doing this at a show, and feedback was great!

I have done it at home with chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, this might be what you are looking for. Just make sure the cake sits in the rice cooker for about 10 minutes, that way it retains it's shape once you flip it over onto a plate.

People are amazed that it requires nothing else-no other ingredients. Great for college students with only microwaves to cook with. My daughter and her room mate loves it and it's much cheaper than those "Delightful Desserts" you can buy at the grocery store.

You can be creative and use any combination! Just be cautious with kids at the show, the cake is still very hot once it comes out. I did the cake as a second recipee, but next time I may do that first and let it sit til my main dish is complete, that way no worries with it still being hot when they go to eat the dessert.

Good luck and I highly recommend it, the responses from the guest where like they couldn't wait to see it. One guest said it would be great for her grandson since he has an egg allergy-so that was an added benefit for her and her grandson.

This is very good. I put the lid on mine and I have never had it overflow.
