Needed: Volcano Cake Recipe and Product

[gailz2]

I worked at a fair yesterday and had a man come up and want the plastic product we cooked a volcano cake in and the recipe. Can anyone help? I did a recipe search and couldn't find it, though I thought I'd heard of it before. I promised I'd get him the info. Please help!

I believe he was referring to the Rice Cooker recipe:Molten Chocolate Lava CakeOne box of chocolate cake mix
ingredients to make the chocolate cake (from the back of the box)
One can of chocolate frosting1. Empty cake mix and cake mix ingredients into Rice Cooker Plus and mix together.
2. Add ½ the can of frosting with Small or Medium Scoop.
3. Microwave for about 8-10 minutes. Invert onto med. Square.
4. You can use any kind of cake mix and frosting, but chocolate is my favorite! German Chocolate is great too!

Thank you! I believe this is it. Perhaps I can sell both the rice cooker and the scoop! Have a great day.

or maybe he was referring to years ago we did volcano cakes in the batter bowldepends on if he meant molten or volcano i guess.

Teresa, is the recipe different? He did say his friend cooked it in a plastic cookware.

the molten cake in the rice cooker is a "gooey" center
the volcano in batter bowl is shaped and decorated like a volcano for birthday parties

If he recalls it is "plastic" then it would be the Rice Cooker. That was very popular
in 2005 when I first signed up. We learned quickly that we got better results when
we did not put the frosting into the batter but used about four medium scoops on
the top of the warm cake, and helped it by spreading it from the center out to
the edges, and then let is overflow and give a very gourmet appearance to the sides.
If you wanted to decorate it any further, fine but it was perfect with just that little
effort. In most 900 watt microwaves the timing varied from 10 to 12 minutes for me.
Let it set about five minutes before turning out onto one of our medium square Simple
Additions. It can easily serve 12 because it is firm, moist and seems rich.

TY everyone. I tried this cake tonight and it erupted in my microwave. I have a very powerful microwave (1200), put the whole container of frosting in the middle (before reading Grandmarita's suggestions) and it made a royal mess of my microwave. I think I set the timer for 10 minutes. It was very tasty and moist, but what a mess.
