Crockpot Lava Cake
To make this chocolate lava cake, gather all of your ingredients … ready? There are only three (see why I am in love with this new recipe!?)
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix prepared according to package directions
- 1 container fudge frosting
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat slow cooker to high. Spray a 4-6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Prepare chocolate cake according to directions on cake mix, which uses water, eggs, and oil. Pour into crock pot.
- Open up the frosting and start dolloping the frosting on top of the cake. Try to distribute them evenly, about one dollop every two inches. Do NOT mix them in, they're supposed to stay intact.
- Sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of frosting. Do not stir these in either.
- Put the lid on the crock pot and bake on HIGH for 2-2.5 hours, do not peek. Cake will be ready when sides are firm and pulling away and center is still soft and shiny.
- Do not over bake or molten center will set. Serve straight from crock pot with ice cream.
Notes
Slow cookers vary, so start checking around the 2-hour mark the first time you make this.
Do not stir the frosting into the batter. The frosting melts down and creates the lava texture.
This dessert is best served warm while the center is soft and fudgy.
