Lavalicious Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Cake


Ingredients
  1. 1 box Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Cake Mix
  2. 3 eggs
  3. 1/2 cup water
  4. 1/2 cup melted butter
  5. 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  6. 1 can Betty Crocker Milk Chocolate Frosting
  7. whipped cream or ice cream, if desired
Instructions
  1. Spray a large slow cooker with nonstick baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, water, and melted butter. Fold in the chocolate chips, then spoon the batter into your prepared slow cooker.
  3. Place spoonfuls of Betty Crocker Frosting all over the top of the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the frosting into the batter.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and allow to cook for 3-4 hours on high heat. Because slow cooker baking times will vary, start checking your cake every half hour at about the 2 1/2 hours mark to see if it’s cooked thorough. The center and edges should bounce back lightly, but there may be a thin, gooey layer across the cake because of the “lava” frosting.
  5. Spoon warm cake into serving bowls. Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
