Perfecting Lava Cake: Tips and Tricks for Cooking and Presentation

In summary, to make lava cake in the Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker (DCB), grease the baker with cooking spray and pour in cake batter. Add a spoonful of filling in the center and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes. You can use any type of cake mix, but adjust cooking time accordingly. The lid is only needed when baking in the oven. Multiple lava cakes can be made at once, leaving space between each cake. To clean the DCB after making lava cake, let it cool and wash with warm, soapy water or use a nylon pan scraper for stubborn bits.

How long to you cook it?? and lid on or off?? I tried it and it flopped...need for a show tonight! Helppppp
 
Lid on, 11-13 min. Take it out and remove lid so steam can escape. Let it rest for 15 min. and then serve.
 
Lid off will still work as I have cooked them in my fluted pan which has no lid. Same amount of time for cooking lid on or off

thanks ladies!!
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your dish didn't turn out as expected. Cooking times can vary depending on the recipe and oven temperature, so it's important to follow the instructions closely. As for the lid, it also depends on the recipe - some dishes may require the lid to be on, while others may need it off. If you're in a rush for your show tonight, I suggest checking the recipe again and making sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. They will be happy to help you troubleshoot and get your dish ready for your show. Best of luck!
