There really is no recipe, I bake by feel. The secret to the volcanoes is simply Wilton's Mini Fluted Tube Pan; once the muffin-size cakes have set, you just fill the holes with what ever filling you like, from glazed fruit to cannoli crême. I've found that greasing and flouring the pan with some salt added in greatly helps to prevent scorching and makes "release" a breeze.
though I've only made volcanoes using baking soda/powder, which results in crumb cake. Have been wanting to try my hand with yeast cake, maybe I'll pilfer a Gugelhopf or Babka recipe next time.
and someone will get hurt. My salivary glands, if nothing else!

I'm truly in desperate need of one of these. I'm hoping that begging will encourage you to post the recipe.
Beg...beg...
If not, I'm thinking some sort of nut cake with cranbutter and peaches in the well?

Mini Gugelhopfs with goodies in the middle...
In that case, how about brandy-soaked fruits folded into sweetened whipped cream for a really naughty treat ;-)

I was thinking of a brioche (or baba a rhum)--with almonds.
