Chocolate Lava Cake Pudding is the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers, combining the richness of a molten lava cake with the creamy texture of a pudding. This decadent dessert features a gooey chocolate center that flows out when you take a spoonful, creating a truly delightful experience.
It’s perfect for special occasions or a cozy night in, as it requires minimal effort and can be prepared in a slow cooker, allowing you to focus on other tasks while it cooks. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and the use of the slow cooker, which guarantees that the cake is moist and the chocolate is perfectly melted.
The warm, gooey chocolate center pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, making it a hit among family and friends. With just a few ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality dessert right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. The chocolate chips will add to the lava-like effect once cooked.
- Grease the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray or butter. Pour the batter into the slow cooker, spreading it out evenly. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Cook on high for 2 hours, checking for doneness around the 1.5-hour mark. The edges should be set, while the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.
- Once done, turn off the slow cooker and allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, either directly from the slow cooker or by scooping portions into serving dishes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Extra Tips:
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of espresso or coffee to the wet ingredients, which will deepen the chocolate taste. If you prefer a richer lava flow, you can place a few extra chocolate chips in the center of the batter before cooking.
This dessert is best enjoyed immediately while warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for a quick treat later. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast to the rich chocolate.
Enjoy your delicious creation!
