Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15.25 oz) box devil’s food chocolate cake mix
  • 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • softened butter or nonstick spray, for greasing

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and pudding mix. Pour in the milk and stir until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
  2. Grease a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with butter. Scrape the batter in and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the edges are set and the center looks wet and jiggly.
  3. Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake sit uncovered for 5 minutes. Scoop into bowls, top with ice cream if you like, and serve right away.

Notes

For the gooiest center, do not overcook. The center will continue to thicken as it sits. If your slow cooker runs hot, start checking at 90 minutes.
