10-Minute Chocolate Lava Cake and Tutorial

A delicious, gooey, fudgy cake made in just a few minutes without using an oven?  Your family or guests will never suspect!

You will also need all the ingredients listed on the cake mix box to make the cake.

10-Minute Chocolate Lava Cake

1 Duncan Hines Decadent Triple Chocolate Cake Mix (plus ingredients listed on the box to make the cake)

1 (16 oz.) tub Duncan Hines Creamy Classic Chocolate Frosting*

Prepare cake mix as directed and pour into an ungreased 3- or 3.5-qt. covered microwave-safe baker.  Using a spoon, drop scoops of frosting onto top of cake batter. Use all of the frosting.  (Don't mix with the batter--just drop it on top.  The frosting will melt to the bottom of the cake forming a chocolate sauce.)  Cover and cook on HIGH in rotating microwave for 10 minutes** or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.  Let cool for a few minutes before serving.  This cake is good served with coffee or a cold glass of milk.  

*You can use any chocolate cake mix or chocolate frosting, but this cake is particularly good made with the suggested ingredients.  

**I have a 1000-watt microwave, and the cake is done perfectly in 10 minutes.
