Ingredients
Volcano Cakes:
Cooking spray, for the pans
One 15.25-ounce box store-bought chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients required by package directions
Chocolate Lava:
One 10-ounce bag white chocolate chips
Red gel food coloring
Orange rock candy, crushed, for serving
Directions
Special equipment:
12 mini bundt cake pans- For the volcano cakes: Coat 12 mini bundt pans with cooking spray. (If working with fewer than 12 pans, coat the pans with spray between batches.)
- Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package directions. Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool. Using a 1/4 teaspoon measure, scoop small chunks from the center of each cake to create a "crater."
- For the chocolate lava: Put the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate has completely melted. Add a few drops of food coloring and stir to combine. Continue adding food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Transfer the cakes to serving plates and pour chocolate lava over each volcano cake. Sprinkle with the rock candy.
