Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Grease the inside of your crockpot thoroughly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix with the instant chocolate pudding mix until fully blended.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, whole milk, and vegetable oil to the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the cake dense.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly.
  5. Pour Batter into Crockpot: Transfer the batter into the prepared crockpot, smoothing out the top gently.
  6. Add Water: Pour 1 cup of water over the batter evenly without stirring to create the lava effect as it cooks.
  7. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high heat for 2 to 3 hours. The cake is ready when the edges are set but the center remains gooey and molten—this is the signature lava cake texture.

Notes

  • Cooking times can vary depending on the crockpot brand and size; check at 2 hours to avoid overcooking.
  • For a dairy-free variation, use almond or oat milk instead of whole milk.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Do not stir after adding the water to maintain the layered texture of cake and molten chocolate.
  • The cake will firm up as it cools, so serve immediately for the best lava effect.
