Got Bundt??

Stoneware bundt, that is! If you do, did you know that you could make a cake in the microwave in that pan? It only takes 10-12 minutes! You just need to adjust the moisture level a bit, and it comes out yummy!

(This sounds like something I would say at a show, but I made one this weekend, and it was a hit, so I like to share what's yummy!)

The Pampered Chef ®Chocolate Velvet Cake with Strawberries

Cake
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup milk chocolate morsels (I used whatever choc chips I had in the house)
1 pkg (18.25 oz) devil's food cake mix
3 eggs
3/4 cup water
1 jar (12 oz) seedless strawberry jam, divided (if you can't find seedless, it's fine)
Glaze & Garnish
1/3 cup melted vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk chocolate morsels
1 qt. fresh strawberries, divided
Additional ice cream (optional)

1. Brush Stoneware Fluted Pan with 1 tbsp of the oil (I usually just use Pam, and brush it around). For cake, combine chocolate morsels and remaining 1/4 cup oil in Small Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30-60 seconds or until melted and smooth, whisking after 30 seconds. In Stainless (4-qt.) Mixing Bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, water, 1/2 cup of the jam and chocolate mixture; whisk until well blended. Pour batter into pan.
2. Microwave cake on HIGH 9-12 minutes or until wooden pick/cake tester inserted near center comes out clean. Remove cake from microwave. Center Simple Additions® Large Round Platter (or whatever fits) over pan and carefully invert. Without removing pan, cool 10 minutes. Remove pan.
3. For glaze, combine ice cream and chocolate morsels in Small Micro-Cooker®. Microwave on HIGH 20-60 seconds or until melted and smooth, stirring after each 20-second interval.
Place remaining jam into Prep Bowl and microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted; brush evenly over cake. Dip 16 of the strawberries into glaze (I put mine on parchment paper in the fridge until ready to serve); arrange around bottom edge of cake. Drizzle top of cake with remaining glaze. Slice remaining strawberries using Egg Slicer Plus®; place into center well of cake. Serve with additional ice cream, if desired.

(You can bake this in the oven, if you want, but it is 350 for 45-50 minutes, and who has time to wait that long for deliciousness??)

This cake looks so pretty. Sorry I don't have a photo for you, but my camera doesn't do food. It likes people better. :)

Seedless strawberry jam just isn't natural. Where do you get seedless straberries anyway? Also I noticed the new pics on the right.
