Cake


So, I know you are not going to try & re-create this, but I liked how this turned out so I thought I would post a picture to share.

Chocolate Lava Cake in the Crockpot


So, I read over this recipe. It sounded to good not to try. It looked a little weird when I made it, but it tasted awesome. It was so easy to make. I served it with Vanilla Ice Cream & cool whip. Yummo!!! This is a keeper. Can't you just taste the gooey goodness? There was one down side to this recipe. At 2 hours, I started smelling burnt cake & I did not use a liner. It did not jiggle, so I went ahead & turned it off. The burnt cake on the side of the crockpot was so hard to scrub off. Even after soaking it over night, it took a while to scrub.


1 package devils food cake mix ( I used some Betty Crocker pudding kind)
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups water
1 package Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding Mix (3 oz)
2 cups cold milk
1 bag (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Now you can use a crockpot liner on this if you have one. It does burn quite easy.
Preparation:
Prepare cake mix into batter using eggs, oil, and water. Pour into crock-pot.

Prepare Jell-O Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix using milk. Pour this over cake mix in crock-pot. (Do not allow to set up). Sprinkle chocolate chips all over the top of the batter.

Cook in crock-pot on high setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with liner (Mine took 2 hours without the liner) until cake is moist but not jiggle, and little volcanoes of spitting chocolate appear on top. Serve with ice cream, whipped topping, or on its own for a really special dessert.
