Crockpot: Lava Cake 2

Crockpot Dessert

Cooking Method:

Crockpot

Cake:
* 1 box of Super Moist Chocolate Fudge Cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
* 1 1/4 cup milk
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 3 eggs

Topping:
* 1 box of Instant chocolate pudding mix 4 oz
* 2 cups milk
* 1 bag of milk chocolate chips 12 oz

Prep Time:

5 minutes

Cook Time:

2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Cake:
* 1 box of Super Moist Chocolate Fudge Cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
* 1 1/4 cup milk
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 3 eggs

Topping:
* 1 box of Instant chocolate pudding mix 4 oz
* 2 cups milk
* 1 bag of milk chocolate chips 12 oz

Instructions:

1. Beat together cake mix, oil, eggs, and milk with an electric mixer for a few minutes until batter is smooth.
2. Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray so the cake won’t stick.
3. Pour cake mixture into the slow cooker and smooth over the bottom.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat together the 2 cups milk and pudding and pour over the top. Do not stir.
5. Then sprinkle chocolate chips over top without stirring.
6. Cover and cook on high for 2 and ½ hours.
7. You’ll know when it is done when the outsides and top set up like a sponge- the middle will be gooey.
8. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
9. Serves 12. Enjoy!

Notes:

1. Slow Cooker – We recommend spraying the crockpot with cooking spray. This helps for cleanup and to easily serve the cake.
2. Cooking Time – Your cook time will vary based on the size and shape of your slow cooker. For instance, original recipe said 2.5 hours on high with a wider slow cooker, but if you have a taller slow cooker, it may take longer. Check the cake when close to cooking time so that the cake does not burn.
3. Done Cooking – You’ll know when it is done when the outsides and top set up like a sponge- the middle will be gooey. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
4. Add different types of chocolate chips. You can add in caramel chips, mini butterscotch chips, the options are endless.
