Description
A rich and decadent chocolate fudge cake made effortlessly in a slow cooker, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix (about 15 ounces)
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 box chocolate pudding mix (4-serving size, about 4 ounces instant)
- 2 cups cold milk
- 11–12 ounces milk chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker insert generously with non-stick cooking spray, coating bottom and sides completely.
- Add the chocolate fudge cake mix, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs to a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk or beat with an electric mixer until completely smooth with no lumps, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker insert and smooth the top into an even layer with a spatula.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Pour the thickened pudding mixture evenly over the cake batter in the slow cooker. Do not stir or mix the layers together.
- Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the pudding layer. Do not stir.
- Fold a clean dish towel in half and place it directly on top of the slow cooker insert, then place the lid on top of the towel.
- Cook on Low for 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes, until the edges are set and firm but the center still has slight jiggle.
- Turn off the slow cooker and carefully remove the ceramic insert from the heating base. Set on a wire cooling rack or heat-safe surface.
- Remove the lid and towel. Let the cake stand uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Scoop portions into bowls, making sure to get both cake and molten sauce from underneath. Top with vanilla ice cream or ice cream of your choice and serve immediately.
Notes
- This cake is best served warm with ice cream.
