Ingredients
  

For the Cake Batter
  • 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix A quick and easy base that brings rich chocolate flavor; no substitutions required.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Adds vital richness; low-fat milk can be swapped for a lighter option.
  • 1/2 cup Canola Oil Keeps your cake moist without overpowering the chocolate essence.
  • 3 large Eggs Essential for structure and leavening.
For the Lava Center
  • 1 box Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix This creates the signature gooey center; do not substitute with cook-and-serve mix.
  • 1 cup Milk (for pudding) Any milk type will work here.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Dark chocolate chips offer a richer flavor twist.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake
