Indulgent molten cakes, also known as lava cakes, satisfy any chocolate craving with this easy cake mix recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 1 box (4-serving size) chocolate fudge instant pudding and pie filling mix
  • 1 cups water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Chocolate Frosting
  • Powdered sugar, if desired
  • Sliced strawberries, if desired
Instructions:
  • Heat whipping cream in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until hot but not boiling. Add chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour 24 large (2 3/4x1 1/4-inch) nonstick muffin cups. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Fill muffin cups with batter and add 1 tablespoon of cold chocolate mixture on top of each cup.
  • Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until the top springs back when lightly touched. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the cupcakes and carefully remove them from the pans onto a cooling rack. Let them cool for 10 minutes. Spread frosting on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving, garnish with strawberry slices, and enjoy warm. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
