OK, now I'm hungry. I JUST got my trifle bowl today and didn't get home until 9 p.m. and kind of wanted to make one right away but I'm out of cake and brownie mixes and don't feel like making one by hand!

Every time someone says chocolate tonight I'm getting hungry!

On the deep dish baker card...

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.

Yes, and she can search by "tool" she wishes to demonstrate to pick one too!

What about a Trifle so you can get bookings for March and April?

 

[chefann]

Trifle is a good idea- you can show stoneware (bake a brownie or cake) and cookware (toast some nuts or coconut), plus all the other tools and the trifle bowl itself.

Ohhh! How do you toast nuts or coconut in the cookware? Just on the stovetop over low heat?

More tools for your trifle: Decorate with whip cream using your EAD, and then use the deluxe cheese grater or food chopper to grate or chop some chocolate to sprinkle on top!

Yep! Use the small saute pan and just keep flipping them so they don't burn. When they are fragrant, they're done.

You can practice the motion with a pan (no heat) and some dry beans. If you use 2 colors of beans you can see how well you're getting things in the pan to move around, as they mix up with eachother. It's fun to do the "TV Chef" wrist flick at a show - totally impress the guests.

I impressed my guests for the first time with just letting an ice cube melt in my saute pan this past Friday! No one bought any cookware when they saw the price though...but it intrigued a bunch, and I will hopefully get one booking so that they can get a set 1/2 off!
