LET'S MAKE CAKE MIX CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

Making a chocolate lava cake using a cake mix is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious dessert. Here's a simple recipe for a cake mix chocolate lava cake:

Ingredients:

- 1 box of chocolate cake mix

- Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)

- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.

2. Prepare the cake mix batter following the instructions on the box. This typically involves mixing the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water.

3. Grease individual ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter or cooking spray. This recipe makes about 4 servings, so you'll need 4 ramekins.

4. Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway.

5. Place 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips or chunks in the center of each filled ramekin. This will be the "lava" center of your cakes.

6. Pour the melted butter evenly over the tops of the batter in each ramekin. The melted butter will help create the gooey lava texture.

7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Keep in mind that the lava cakes may need a few minutes less to bake than the recommended time, as you want the center to remain molten.

8. Once the cakes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

9. Optional: Dust the tops of the cakes with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

10. Serve the chocolate lava cakes warm. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence.

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE WITHOUT RAMEKINS

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.

Prepare Cake Mix Batter:

Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the cake batter. Mix the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water.

Fill the Baking Dish:

Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased baking dish, filling it about halfway.

Create the Lava Center:
