Have you tried adding raspberry filling to your chocolate lava cake?

In summary, Lorraine suggests adding raspberry filling to a lava cake, and suggests using a mix which does not require water (or, add about a 1/4 cup of water at a time, to make sure the batter is smooth). Lemon cake with lemon pie filling was used in a show last week and was a hit.

I know there are several ways to make the "Lava" cake that is such a big hit! I'm going to be hosting a "Raspberry and Chocolate" themed cooking show and I was wondering if anyone has tried adding raspberry filling to a Lava cake (much like adding the peanut butter AND chocolate frosting)?
 
I've tried making the "dump" cake with raspberry pie filling. The taste was wonderful, but unfortunately I couldn't stand the seeds! Maybe there is a way you could "strain" the seeds from the filling, but I ended up throwing most away because there were too many seeds in it :(
 
Maybe mix in some of PC's Raspberry Habanero sauce? Sweet with a little kick!

I did find this recipe for a raspberry filling. I guess I just wondered if anyone has tried mixing with that kind of consistency since frosting is so much thicker.

Raspberry Sauce
8 tbsps raspberry seedless jam
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
2 tbsp orange juice

I was thinking the same thing. Last night I did this with a block of cream cheese wrapped in crescent rolls as someone suggested here. YUMMY!!!
 
Seedless jam is available (tho more expensive)... or gently warm up raspberry jam and put through a sieve.

okay, I haven't tried this--but what if you mixed the raspberry habanero with cream cheese and used that like the peanut butter......

As taught by my Director, I mix cherry pie filling in the flip cake (same as the lava cake, but done in the fluted stone). Use the pie filling in place of the oil, and use a mix which does not require water (or, add about a 1/4 cup of water at a time, to make sure the batter is smooth). I haven't tried with raspberry pie filling, though. Would love to hear how it turns out. Someday, I'll try the lemon pie filling with yellow cake, like I keep promising myself.
 
I did lemon cake with lemon pie filling in the DCB for a show last week... it was amazing!! Everyone loved it, and there were a couple spoonfuls left for me to try. I just mixed up the cake mix as directed, and then spooned the pie filling on top. It was sort of like a pudding cake, if that makes sense.

Thanks for the tip, Lorraine! No frosting? Did you use oil and eggs? Would it have been good/better with the Lemon Sprinkles either on top or mixed in?

I used oil and eggs in the batter, and then served with whipped topping (in they EAD) and the Lemon Sprinkles (everyone put their own on). Thanks for the reminder... I forgot about those finishing touches! It gave one more opportunity to demo an extra couple products!
