Also be careful because the stoneware will scratch the beaded spoon. I know it's not pretty, but I use the smaller nylon spoon.
pamperedbecky said:To do more of a "cobbler" kind of cake, just take any box of cake mix. Pour it in the DCB dry without making it according to package directions. Pour any flavor pie filling (the bigger can, I think 21 oz??) over it. Slice up a stick of butter and lay the pats all around the top. (Try to forget it uses a stick of butter....the recipe I saw actually called for 1 1/2 sticks!). Cook for 10 min. on high, then stir it all up. Cook for another 3 minutes. If it's the yellow cake mix and apple pie filling (my fave), I also sprinkle the sweet caramel sprinkles on it before I cook for those last 3 minutes.
For the lava cake (my NEW fave for chocolate!!), mix a box of Devil's Food Cake according to the package directions. Mix it right in the DCB - saves dirtying a bowl! Take a tub/container of chocolate or fudge frosting and scoop the entire container over the cake mix. Cook for 13 minutes (I wasn't sure on the time, but this seems to work). That's it!! All the gooey lava is on the bottom of the DCB and it's great with ice cream. This turns out with a cake consistency and is amazing! The other recipe above is more like a cobbler because you don't really get a "fluffy" cake out of it.
I hope that helps!!
Chef Kearns said:When I do my microwave cake I don't mix the eggs and oil in. I just use the box of cake mix and a diet cola. Usually I do Chocolate cake with Diet Coke, because that's what we have in the house. I also only use half a container of icing. Either way you do it it is YUMMMM!!
dannyzmom said:Huh???
Diet coke and cake mix?
Details please...
Happy Chef said:They have been a big hit at my shows. I've been doing the Choc Peanut Butter Dump Cake on CS. But I renamed it Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake. People are so into lava cakes. I make it while we go around for introductions. People can't beleive how easy it is. Plus then we brainstorm for a minute or two on all the combos they could do with different flavor cake mixes etc.
Chef Kearns said:Those are the details. LOL!! It is from Weight Watchers. You cut the fat and calories by substituting the Diet Coke for the eggs and oil. It ends up very moist and light. You can't even tell anything is missing!! Honest! Try it! I love doing it when I offer a free show or dessert because I only have to bring 3 things and none of the things will crack in my crate on the way!
Use a can of diet soda, not the bottles which have more in them.
cmdtrgd said:I've been pampering a lot of businesses this month with the diet soda lava cake. I mainly do the chocolate with diet coke and chocolate frosting. However, I came across someone who didn't like chocolate and I did white cake mix, 7-up and lemon frosting - came out really nice!
The DCB (Deep Covered Baker) baking method involves using a ceramic pot with a lid to bake cakes. This method creates a moist and evenly baked cake, as the lid traps in steam and moisture. It differs from traditional baking in that it does not require preheating the oven and can be used in the microwave or conventional oven.
Yes, you can use any type of cake mix with the DCB baking method. However, it is recommended to use a cake mix with a pudding mix included, as this will result in a denser and moister cake.
To prevent your cake from sticking to the DCB, make sure to generously spray the inside of the pot with cooking spray before adding the batter. You can also line the bottom of the pot with parchment paper for added insurance.
Yes, the DCB can be used to bake a variety of desserts such as cobblers, brownies, and bread pudding. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time and temperature according to the recipe you are using.
To clean your DCB, wash it with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use metal utensils or steel wool, as these can scratch the surface of the pot. Allow the DCB to cool completely before cleaning. To maintain the quality of your DCB, avoid drastic temperature changes and do not place it directly on a hot stovetop or in a hot oven. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
