Description

This Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake is a decadent, gooey dessert made effortlessly in a slow cooker. Combining rich chocolate cake mix with instant pudding and semi-sweet chocolate chips, it creates a luscious molten center that’s perfect for sharing. The slow cooking method allows the cake to set around the edges while keeping the middle perfectly gooey and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Additional

  • 1 cup water
  • Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing crockpot)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crockpot: Grease the inside of the crockpot thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking during cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and the instant chocolate pudding mix, stirring to blend well.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, whole milk, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
  5. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased crockpot, smoothing the top lightly.
  6. Add Water: Pour 1 cup of water evenly over the batter surface without stirring. This helps create the molten lava effect.
  7. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on the high setting for 2 to 3 hours. Check around 2 hours; the cake is done when the edges are firm but the center remains gooey and molten.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot model; start checking around 2 hours.
  • Do not stir after adding water to maintain the lava cake texture.
  • Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free pudding mix.
  • Make sure to grease the crockpot well to ensure easy serving.
