Microwave Lava Cake
This is one of my new all time favorite cakes!
Perfect for a quick dessert or for a fancy impressive meal..or anytime you need a chocolate fix! It truly doesn't get any better than this for a quick treat. As you can see from the image, my son in law didn't even wait to flip it on a platter. Boys… of course the next image should be where he is running around because the LAVA chocolate has attached itself to his tongue. Again.. boys…
Ingredients:
1 box cake mix (your choice of mix) – plus items needed per directions on box
1 can ready to serve frosting
Directions:
~ Prepare cake batter according to package directions – place in large/deep glass bowl or baking dish
~ Dump frosting by spoonfuls into batter
~ Microwave for nine (9) minutes on high
That's it! Please use hot pads when removing from microwave as bowl/dish will be screaming hot!
Whoa!! How easy is this?!!? Yummo!! Can’t wait to make it!!Could we use any frosting?!?
What a real easy cake! I could make this! Thanks for sharing!
when i ate sugar, lava cake was one of my favourites. Thank goodness I didn’t know about this back then for I would be the size of a house
What a delicious and easy cake recipe that my whole family will love! Thank you!
This cake looks so fresh and delicious, I thank you for the awesome idea and recipe share.
I pinned this gooey death-by-chocolate recipe. This recipe looks really rich. Plus it is easy to make & it definitely looks like one of those “ways to the man’s stomach” recipes – he really is enjoying it. So will my grandkids & I the next time they stay over!
What a perfect thing for a guy to make who has no clue in the kitchen, like my hubby…lol. Thank you for sharing!
oh wow this is real easy–I love anything chocolate– I will be making this soon– thank you for sharing
I’ll try using Chery Chip, on my birthday.
I think I’ll try using Black Forest Mix. I love chocolate & cherries!
This looks like my kind of baking. I have just the bowl to do this in too. Looks yummy!
Oh, this cake is amazing! And you can use any flavor combo you love. If you are using the frosting for german chocolate I would suggest also dropping in a plain chocolate frosting as the german choc one is really thick and doesn’t melt as well as regular tubs of frosting.
That is super easy! I will try it!
This looks so easy to make! I don’t need anymore cake recepies through, I have plenty.
Oh Em Gee! What an awesome idea and how easy is that to make! Great for a movie-night craving!
It sounds good and he looks like he is enjoying it in your picture. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
wow! how nice is this, I don’t think I have ever heard of something like this, and I just baked a chocolate cake tonight lol wish I had seen this post earlier 🙂 thanks for share and definitely will be trying this out with the grandchildren
Wow !!!! I am gonna give this a whirl and I am sure fall in love with it!
Looks like so much fun! My kids would love it. 🙂 Thanks for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I hope you will be able to join us again this week. https://our4kiddos.blogspot.com/2014/03/peanut-butter-bread.html
Wow, it’s that easy and quick!
Looks scrumptious!
Seriously? I can’t believe how easy this is! I must do this for my daughters’ End of School Year party.
I’m happy to have found you through Sincerely, Paula’s WW :->

Ann Again… and again
Looks yummy! I love quick and easy…gotta try this!
ohh! nice and so simple too. can you use any frosting and cake mix?
Yes! You can use any plain cake mix and a can of frosting. I haven’t tried angel food yet…will have to try that one and see. Tonight we are making a lemon cake with cream cheese frosting..
OMGOSH! I wish you had a Lap Band friendly version of that recipe!!! Lol! It looks sooo great! I will not snac. I will not snack!
I know I know.. I had the RNY and have used the sugar free cake mix for this.. for the frosting, try the lower sugar cans or don’t use the frosting and make a lemon, poppy seed with splenda drizzle to pour over the cake. That would cut the calories a ton.
Now that sounds like even I could make it!! It looks really really tempting!! Hum–wonder if using an Angel food mix with no sugar frosting would work–probably would not taste as good–but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!
I haven’t tried angel food but plan on it later this week. I did put pineapple chunks in the mix with a lemon cake and cream cheese frosting. Look up my 321 Mug cake for a lower calorie using angel food cake mix.. that is a wonderful by the cup cake that you can top with anything.
You have to be kidding me right now. I have the stuff to make this right now. Please, someone stop me.
Thank for coming by to link up! My waist line may not thank you but…. rofl…
Go for it! This is the easiest and one of the yummiest cakes! So far I think I like the pudding in the mix chocolate with the cream cheese frosting but the German choc with the German choc frosting ROCKED too! Let me know what you try!
that cake looks really good
LOL LOVE THE PIC
wow that looks good. Thanks for sharing – I hope my sons-in-laws will be like this too!
My kids would love this, and love that they can cook it themselves. Great afterschool snack!
