- In another bowl, mix the pudding with the remaining milk and whisk until smooth and clump-free.
- Pour the pudding mix into the slow cooker right in the middle, and do not mix.

- Serve the cake, scooping up some of the pudding lava and topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
- Use a slow cooker liner or generously grease your slow cooker to prevent the cake from sticking.
- When pouring in the pudding mixture, keep it as centered as possible.
- If unsure if your lava cake is done, gently shake the slow cooker. If the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly, it's ready!
- Try different cake mix flavors, like red velvet, devil's food, or German chocolate. You can also switch up the pudding flavor - try butterscotch, white chocolate, or cheesecake for a fun twist!
