Ingredients:
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
To Serve:
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Coat the bottom and sides of your slow cooker with coconut oil to prevent the cake from sticking during cooking.
- Mix the Cake Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Devil’s Food cake mix, 1 cup of water, and coconut oil. Stir well to eliminate most of the lumps.
- Pour the Batter:
- Pour the cake batter mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Create the Chocolate Lava Mixture:
- In the same mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of HOT water, coconut palm sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Layer and Cook:
- Gently pour the chocolate lava mixture over the cake batter in the slow cooker. Do not stir; the two layers will naturally separate as the cake cooks.
- Cook the Lava Cake:
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for about 2 hours. The cake will set, and the chocolate lava will create a decadent and gooey layer beneath.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid.
- Scoop a portion of the warm Fudgy Chocolate Lava Cake onto a plate.
- If desired, top the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing it to melt slightly over the warm cake.
- Indulge:
- Delight in the rich, chocolaty goodness of the Slow Cooker Fudgy Chocolate Lava Cake. The combination of moist cake and oozing chocolate lava creates an irresistible dessert experience.
Note: This dessert is perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings and impressing your guests with minimal effort. The slow cooker method ensures a tender cake with a luscious chocolate center, making it a delightful treat to enjoy on any occasion.
