I've never tried it, but I don't see why you couldn't. They are oven safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Mini Molten Cakes Be Made in Prep Bowls?

Yes, mini molten cakes can be made in Pampered Chef prep bowls. The bowls are oven-safe and can hold the batter while allowing the cakes to bake evenly.

What size prep bowls are recommended for mini molten cakes?

The 1-cup prep bowls are ideal for making mini molten cakes, as they provide enough space for the batter to rise while still creating the perfect portion size.

Do I need to adjust the baking time when using prep bowls?

Yes, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly. Since the prep bowls are smaller than traditional cake pans, the cakes may bake faster. Start checking for doneness a few minutes earlier than the recipe suggests.

How do I prevent the cakes from sticking to the prep bowls?

To prevent sticking, be sure to grease the prep bowls with cooking spray or butter before adding the batter. You can also dust them with a little flour or cocoa powder for extra insurance.

Can I use other types of bowls for mini molten cakes?

While prep bowls are recommended, you can use other oven-safe bowls as well. Just ensure they are made from materials that can withstand high temperatures, such as glass or ceramic.
