Crockpot: Lava Cake 1
Prep Time:
15 minutes
Cook Time:
3 hours
Ingredients:
* 1 package devil's food cake mix (regular size)
* 1-2/3 cups water
* 3 large eggs, room temperature
* 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
* 2 cups cold 2% milk
* 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* Whipped cream, optional
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs and oil. Beat these together on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for two minutes.
2. Transfer the batter to a greased 4-quart slow cooker.
3. In another bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix for two minutes.
4. Then let the pudding stand until it’s soft set, about two minutes.
5. Spoon the pudding over the cake batter, then sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips.
6. Cover the slow cooker and cook the cake on high for three to four hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out with moist crumbs.
7. Serve the chocolate lava cake warm, with whipped cream if desired.
Notes:
1. Use white chocolate chips: For an even sweeter cake with a contrast of colors, sprinkle white chocolate chips over the cake batter and pudding instead of semisweet chocolate chips.
2. Chocolate pudding is a tasty treat here, but you can create a uniquely flavored lava cake by using a different pudding, like vanilla or banana.
3. You can safely freeze servings of slow-cooker lava cake for two to three months. Wrap them carefully so they’ll be airtight, then plan to use a microwave to warm the cake later.
