This easy Crockpot Lava Cake recipe is rich, gooey, and irresistibly delicious! With warm cake on the outside and a melty pudding center, it practically makes itself while you go about your day. My boys snarfed it down before it even had time to cool—it’s that good! Serve it straight from the crockpot with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a cozy, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

1 cake mix (any flavor)
1 box instant pudding mix (any flavor)*

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the box.
  2. Lightly spray or butter the inside of your crockpot.
  3. Pour the prepared cake batter into the crockpot.
  4. Prepare the pudding according to package directions.
  5. Pour the pudding directly into the center of the cake batter. Don’t stir it in—just let it sit on top.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 1½ to 2½ hours. 
  7. Test for doneness: Insert a knife near the center. It should come out clean of cake batter—some pudding is fine!
  8. To serve, scoop into bowls and top with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite toppings.
 
 

Notes

*Want a gooier lava center? Use 2 packages of pudding mix with 3 cups of milk for extra pudding in the middle.
