Crockpot Lava Cake
Description
This recipe combines a chocolate fudge cake mix blended with milk, vegetable oil, and eggs, poured into a greased slow cooker. An unmixed layer of instant chocolate pudding blended with milk is poured on top, followed by a sprinkling of milk chocolate chips. The slow cooker bakes the dessert on high heat for two and a half hours without stirring, allowing the top and edges to set while the center stays gooey and molten.
The finished lava cake has a thick, cakey outer layer contrasting with a rich, flowing center. Serving it slightly warm accentuates the gooey texture. This dessert serves around twelve and is often enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the dense chocolate.
The recipe encourages flexibility in flavors by substituting different cake mix and pudding flavors to vary the dessert. Its slow-cooking method provides a unique take on lava cake without the need for an oven.
