Indulge in a Delicious Peanut Butter Lava Cake Recipe

[wadesgirl]

Someone suggested this - do you use peanut butter in place of the frosting or do you use a little of each?

 

[pchockeymom]

I put the whole can of chocolate frosting then 2-3 scoops of peanut butter.

 

[babywings76]

Sorry!! I haven't had a chance to come back online till just now. :blushing:Yep, like pchockeymom says, I do the whole can--or just about the whole can. I use the medium scoop and place blobs of it over the top surface of the batter. Then I measure 1 cup of creamy peanut butter in the measure-all cup and then use the scoop to place those blobs in between the chocolate blobs.

my stomach is growling!

I've been trying to figure out my recipes for next season - it's making me really hungry!

I can't tell you how wonderfully sinfully good this sounds! Will have to test it tomorrow and maybe do it at my show on Sunday...

 

[pchefjaneen]

It's fabulous! I've made it several times for shows and it's a huge hit! Tastes like a big warm reese cup!

I haven't done the lava cake in the DCB, only in the rice cooker. How long do you cook it in the DCB? Do you flip it out like you do when using the rice cooker? This sounds too good not to try!

Then after you flip it out of the rice cooker chop up some. Candy to add to the top , now that's really a lava cake at its best

I cook it 11-13 minutes. Then I let it rest for about 15 minutes. I don't turn it out because it's great served in the DCB. It's not quite the "lava cake" effect, but when you dish it out, you scoop up the drippy sauce and it's all good. I tell people you can turn it out if you want the lava effect, but with the DCB it's pretty just in there. Then you can just put the lid back on to cover up the left-overs.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Make sure you have some ice cream to serve with it!

Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge Cake and Chocolate Fudge Frosting, along with the peanut butter - this makes the very best Choc. Peanut Butter Lava Cake!

 

[esavvymom]

I need a glass of milk just READING about this cake. My DH and kids would be in heaven!

 

[terimayo]

Do you keep the lid on when you are waiting the 15 min for it to cool?

So if I make this in the Fluted Stone, I can flip it over? TIA

 

[babywings76]

When it comes out, I take the lid off to release the steam. Let it sit uncovered for the 15 minutes or so.

Yep, you can flip it out and it'll look pretty!

You can flip the DCB shaped one, too, but I personally think it doesn't look that pretty because of it's shape. It also requires a large rectangular platter with edges so it doesn't run out all over the place. The DCB is such a pretty stone, so I think it's best to just serve it in there.

 

[mgranich]

I make this at most of my shows in the Fluted pan and I usually sell a couple of those at each show! I just bring the cake mix and frosting and make this as a gift to the host for having the show. I do flip it it over onto a large platter and the chocolate runs down the sides. I am going to try the peanut butter version tomorrow! That sounds amazing.

I accidentally baked the rocky road brownie with the lid on and the brownie was soggy from the moisture dripping back on it. Maybe it was the shorter cooking time but you don't have any problems with the DCB lid with this cake?

OMG!! I can't wait to try it!!!

Oooh, I want to make this! I need some ice cream and choc. peanut butter lava cake now!!! LOL

I haven't had any problems with keeping the lid on during the microwave time. But I take the lid off immediately after it's done so the condensation on the lid doesn't drip down on it and to let the steam from the cake escape.

I know others do this with the lid off, so I should try that and see if I notice a difference. You do it uncovered if it's in a fluted stone, so it makes sense that it would be fine w/o the lid for this, too. I'm just in the habit of using the lid for everything I guess.

 

[wadesgirl]

I might have to try it this weekend when I'm with my nieces and nephew! I've really only made the lava cake once (at a party) in the rice cooker. It didn't turn out well because it didn't all come out of the cooker!

 

[cookinfletch]

I think I just gained 3 lbs from reading this post, & I have to weigh in at Weight Watcher's tonight!!

 

[BarbaraF]

Help! What did I do wrong? Used the fluted stone, baked for 12 minutes, took out and flipped onto SA large round platter and let stone rest for 15 minutes. Took off, some cake stuck in stone (I had even greased with oil and basting brush). Looked good but we didn't have time to eat it before we had to leave. When we came back 3 hours later, it was as hard as a rock!! Any thoughts? Thanks.

My experience with cakes done in the microwave is that they are only good when eaten immediately. After that, they aren't good.

 

[byrd1956]

Someone asked me can we do a brownie Mix in the Rice Cooker Plus. Anyone had any experience with this?

 

[byrd1956]

The other question I had was if you could use homemade icing in the lava cakes. She specifically asked about homemade butter cream. Thank you for your advice.

 

[jendill]

I don't have luck with Brownies. They always get hard! I don't have trouble with the 3-2-1 miracle cake in the DCB though. It stays very fresh =) I don't add icing until after the cake is cooked, so you could easily use homemade butter cream =)

 

[byrd1956]

jen, when you add your icing after the cake is done do you just spread the icing on top in the DCB? We were doing the cake in the rice cooker so the icing was plopped in before microwaving. This is what the customer was wanting to know about, using her homemade icing on top in the RCP then microwave. What about that?

 

[byrd1956]

looked for 123 cake directions...the flyer I found did not have much info. can anyone past it in this thread?

 

[jendill]

When I do the rice cooker, I don't add icing. I always do it on top =) and yes, I put the icing on top after the cake is cooked and it soaks in.

 

[byrd1956]

After letting the icing soak in, do you flip the cake onto a plate for the lava effect?

 

[jendill]

I don't. With the rice cooker, I flip the cake and let the icing drip down the sides. In the DCB I just put the icing on top and serve. The lava cake is too messy for me =) The dripping down the side is much better in my opinion =)

I use the whole can of frosting and scoop it out with the med. scoop as mentioned above. Then I use the small scoop to scoop the peanut butter out of the jar. I prepare the whole thing while they're going around for introductions. I'm bringing it back for my pre Valentines Day shows.

How much PB do you use Deb?

 

[DebPC]

About a cup and it must be the creamy.

thanks! My fave micro cake is the Peanutty Chocolate Cake that you make in the Fluted Stone (the one with the Resses Cups inside....so good!) I bet this one will be just about as good!

I'm thinking of making this today for a ladies pot-luck. I only have the RCB. Would I just half the recipe and cooking time?
