Dive into dessert bliss with our crock pot lava cake recipe—it's ooey, gooey, and ready with just 10 minutes of prep! Perfect for busy days, this treat is as simple as it is scrumptious.
Give your slow cooker a light spray with cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 ¼ cups of milk, oil, and eggs. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the cake batter into the slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the pudding mix with the remaining milk until smooth.
Gently pour the pudding mixture into the center of the slow cooker. It's important not to mix it with the batter to get that perfect lava effect.
Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 3 hours. You'll know it's ready when the cake’s edges are spongy.
When serving, scoop up some of the pudding lava. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes
Give your slow cooker a good spray, or you'll have a sticky mess.
Pour that pudding right in the center of the cake mix, and resist the urge to stir.
Keep that lid snug on your slow cooker! Lifting it can cause your cake to dry up and take forever to cook. Let the steam do its thing!
