Here’s what you will need to make Crockpot lava cake at home:

Don’t forget you can find the full amounts and nutritional info in the recipe card at the bottom of the post!

From the pantry we’ll need devils food cake or fudge cake mix, instant chocolate pudding, avocado oil, and Reese’s peanut butter chips.

We are using some fresh ingredients as well, we’ll need milk and eggs from the refrigerator! Since most of these ingredients are on hand at all times in our house this is a go to dessert when we need a sweet treat!

How to make Crockpot peanut butter lava cake:

This is a very easy to make recipe. Everything gets put into the slow cooker and it does all the hard work for us!

Spray slow cooker insert with cooking oil. In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, eggs, avocado oil and 1 ¼ cups of milk. Pour into slow cooker. 

In a second bowl, add pudding mix and 2 cups of milk and beat for 3-4 minutes. Pour over cake mix, but do NOT mix in! Pudding will be thick and won’t pour evenly, so that’s ok. 

Sprinkle peanut butter chips on top of the pudding layer.

Secure lid on slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until cake is set and the pudding is bubbling.

This recipe will serve 8 or maybe a little more depending on the amount for each serving.
