Okay, this is not as much of a "lava cake," but more like a thick, cake-ish/pudding. It is hard to call this a cake. It definitely does not take any form of a traditional cake, but it is much thicker and doughier (is that a word?!) than a pudding though. This recipe is very rich, so serve it with ice cream. Definitely with vanilla ice cream! I really enjoyed this recipe but mine had to cook for about 4 1/2 hours to really thicken up and it probably wouldn't have hurt if it went a little longer. The amount of time it needs to cook is really going to depend on how thick/set you want your lava cake to be.
It sure was good though!
For the Cake
1 box SuperMoist triple chocolate fudge cake mix
1 1/4 c milk
1/2 c vegetable oil
3 eggs
For the topping
1 box (4 serving size) instant chocolate pudding and pie filling mix
2 c milk
12 oz milk chocolate chips
Line your crockpot with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
In large bowl, beat Cake ingredients with electric mixer until fully combined. Pour into slow cooker.
In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and 2 cups milk with whisk or electric mixer for two minutes. Pour into slow cooker over cake batter. Do not mix. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top. (Again, don't mix this)
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours or until cake is set and pudding is beginning to bubble out of cake. (Mine was no where near ready in 3 hours. Mine took about 4-5 hours to finish cooking).
