Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 ¼ cups whole milk divided
  • ½ cup oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 oz instant chocolate pudding mix

Instructions
 

  • 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!
