I can't find this recipe in the files. Plus there are tons of post with the word Lava and the few I looked don't have the recipe.

If you have it, would you please share it with me? I would love to get the entire recipe - ingredients and steps.

I want to make this at a show tomorrow.

Thank you!!!
 
Mix up a regulare cake mix, pour into DCB. Scoop one tub of frosting on top, bake w/ lid on for 10 mins. Let sit for at least another 5 and viola, it's done. Simple as that.

Is it any type of frosting? Do I spread the frosting on top of the batter?

Thanks Shelly!
 
Any type of frosting is fine - whatever you want to have with the cake. You do not spread it - use one of the scoops (or whatever you have) and drop it in random areas. It will go through the batter while cooking...ending up in a sweet, gooey mess on the bottom. :D
 
I recommend you DON'T use 'whipped' frosting though. Makes wierd craters.
 
Couple thoughts:

1) I was told specifically to not use whipped frosting. I know that was a recommendation from someone, but my recipe is specific.

2) Someone said cook with lid on; I had been told to do it with lid off. Does it make a difference?

3) I could include this with every show as people love it. Somewhere there are recipes using different combinations for the cake mixes. Personally, I think chocolate is always good.

4) Also can do this in the Rice Cooker. I have not done it; anyone with success doing this?
 
I've done it with the rice cooker...but only use about 1/2 the can of frosting. Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (NOT WHIPPED!!) is always a crowd pleaser...even better when served with vanilla icecream :)
Another yummy one is carrott cake with a vanilla frosting, yum!!I'm going to have to try it in the dcb....definitely a higher price point ;)

Yes, forgot about whipped frosting - definitely don't use that!

I've done it with the lid on and the lid off and both ways worked fine. I'm sure there was a difference but I did them far enough apart to not remember....
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for the DCB Molten Lava Cake?

To make the DCB Molten Lava Cake, you will need the following ingredients: 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.

How do I prepare the DCB for baking the Molten Lava Cake?

Before baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease the DCB (Deep Covered Baker) with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. This will help ensure that the cake comes out easily once it's baked.

What is the baking time for the DCB Molten Lava Cake?

Bake the Molten Lava Cake in the DCB for about 12-14 minutes. The edges should be firm, while the center remains soft and slightly gooey. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking, as you want that molten center.

Can I make the DCB Molten Lava Cake ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake, simply pour the batter into the greased DCB and bake it straight from the fridge, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if necessary.

What can I serve with the DCB Molten Lava Cake?

The DCB Molten Lava Cake is delicious on its own, but you can enhance it by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Whipped cream also makes a great topping!
