Chocolate Cake With Soft Center? Need Name of It.

[genburk]

I have a host looking for a chocolate cake with a 'melted' or 'gooey' chocolatey center. I am not sure which chocolate cake she is referring to. She said she had it at another show a few years ago and didn't remember the name. Any ideas? and can you include the recipe or tell me where to find it? I was wondering if it might be the molten lava cake, but have never had it to know what it looks like..

Thanks so much. It is hard to find a recipe for an item when you don't know the name........

I would guess the Molten Chocolate Tunnel cake. It is on the PC website. It's good and has a pudding center.

Molten Chocolate Tunnel Cake

Ingredients:
1 package (3.9 ounces) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
1 package (18.25 ounces) devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 pint fresh raspberries
Whipped topping (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray Deep Dish Baker with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a 10-inch circle of Parchment Paper; place in bottom of Baker. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In Small Batter Bowl, combine pudding mix and milk; whisk until mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate morsels; set aside. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cake mix, 1/2 cup oil, eggs and water; mix until smooth. Pour 1 1/4 cups of the batter; set aside. Spread remaining batter over bottom of Baker.

3. Using Small Scoop, scoop pudding in circular pattern 1/2 inch from edge of Baker. Spread remaining batter over pudding. Bake 35-40 minutes or until Cake Tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of cake from Baker, carefully invert cake onto Round Platter.

4. Combine remaining chocolate morsels and half of the whipped topping in Small Micro-Cooker®. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until melted; mix until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the glaze; set aside. Pour remaining glaze over cake. Spread glaze to edge of cake, allowing glaze to drip down sides. Place raspberries evenly over top of cake 1 inch from edge; drizzle with reserved glaze. Garnish with whipped topping using Easy Accent® Decorator, if desired.

I am planning on making the Molten Choc. Skillet Brownie at some of my shows coming up... I have a couple questions for those of you who have made it at shows...

1- what appetizer did you make with it? For Feb. I want a stoneware recipe, but I don't want one that will have to bake afterwards. I want to make the Molten brownie before guests arrive, then demo the appetizer, and immediately after the demo it will be ready, like a prebaked pizza crust, tapas, etc..are ready after they are demo'd...
2- I made the Molten Sk. Brownie at home, and had a hard time pouring the choc. fudge sauce from the batter bowl without it spilling down the side of the BB... and it didn't really turn out to be "Tunnels" or "Filled" with the fudge... Any tips/advice?
THANKS!!!!
