Crock Pot Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

Sharing is caring!

At this time of year, we have been on several Carnival Cruises and a signature dessert for them is their Chocolate Melting Cake. A warm, ooey, gooey cake served with ice cream. Since it doesn’t look like I get to cruise right now, I decided I needed to make one but using my Crock Pot to.

Yes, your Crock Pot is for more than soups and roasts. I have a whole section of recipes for you to try. I’ve been making a chocolate cake for years in my Crock Pot, but decided to do it as a Lava Cake this time. And my guys are so glad I did.

Many restaurants are starting to serve this type of cake too. But, you don’t have to go out, make it at home.

As with any recipe you make in the Crock Pot, but especially something like a cake, your type and size of Crock Pot can greatly affect cooking time.

I suggest you testing it at least 15 – 20 minutes before the suggested cooking time is complete. If the edges are getting pretty firm, it’s done.

Anytime I make something like this chocolate cake or a brownie, I like to serve it as I would a sundae. Toppings such as ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries, and caramel sauce are just a few of my favorites. On the cruise, many people order this cake with peanut butter. Maybe that is something you want to try.

Easy Peasy to Make – check attached recipe for details

Mix up cake and pour into Crock Pot

Top with pudding 

Sprinkle chips on top

Cover and bake until done

HINTS
If you prefer, milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips could be used instead of dark
I have found the oval 5 – 6 qt. Crock Pot works better than the deeper, round one
You may like a darker fudge cake mix
Do not test as a normal cake since the middle will be fudgey and not solid
Place a towel between Crock Pot and lid when cooking (this picture from another recipe)

Let me know if you try this.
