Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1 box Devil’s Food Cake (2 layer cake mix)
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
Pudding and Toppings
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding (6 serving, 170 Gram)
  • 3 cups milk (for pudding)
  • 1 can chocolate fudge icing
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the cake layer: the cake mix, 1 ½ cups milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. In another bowl, mix the pudding with 3 cups of milk according to the package directions. Pour this mixture over the cake batter in the slow cooker.
  5. Microwave the chocolate fudge icing for 10-15 seconds until it is pourable, then drizzle it evenly on top of the pudding.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the mixture in the crockpot.
  7. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3 to 3½ hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. The cake is done when a knife inserted only into the cake portion comes out clean.
  8. Serve hot, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

To enhance your experience, serve this cake with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fresh berries make a lovely contrast to the richness of the chocolate. For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
