Prep Bowl Idea - Molton Chocolate Cakes

[mspibb]

Found this through the Kraft food emails I get. Thought it would be a great thing to have to help sell Prep Bowls!

Now it's going to be bug me, but I know we had a recipe for Molten Choc. Lava cakes in the 1-cup prep bowls! We've made it! It was the recipe that got my MIL to buy a set of the bowls. Now I'll have to find it! It MIGHT have been the "Molten Chocolate Mini Cakes" recipe from the F/W '07 and '08 Season's Best....only instead of using the Floral Cupcake pan, we used the 1-cup bowls (idea from others on here most likely).But yes, they work great. My MIL also found that when you are making muffins, and if you have a little batter left over- not enough for a full pan of the regular muffins, she uses the 1-cup bowls. I have too- put a liner in the bowl, add the batter. There you go. You can make a few as needed.

I've done the Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cakes before ... but started doing a quicker recipe that tastes better. I use a plain Devil's Food cake mix, it does 2 sets of 6 1 cup prep bowls perfectly. I put them on the dessert plates (inverted). Then I use Betty Crocker rich & creamy Chocolate frosting, remove ALL the foil & microwave uncovered for a few seconds, stir, heat, stir, etc until it can be easily poured. I put about 2 tbsp of melted frosting on each cake & serve hot. Everyone says it tastes just like the ones at Chili's.

I did several dozen for a bake sale last year ~ here's a photo:

Do you make them in the oven or the microwave?

I do them in the microwave, 6 at a time.

the recipe in word works GREAT I just made them. For the dishes I did SIX prep bowls brushed with melted butter, and sprinkled with some plain white sugar. Did One plarge scoop in each one then divided the remaining in them. I put them in my microwave on the turn table for 4 minutes and let sit for five to cool in the bowls then turned them out. OH TASTY. Thanks

My family LOVES the chocolate cakes in the prep bowls! They are delicious and easy to make. I did them once at a show - placed one on a plate and set on the table all pretty and the rest were cut in half so everyone got some. They were a huge hit at my show.
