Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Lava Filling:
    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm, then add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
  5. Grease the slow cooker with non-stick spray and pour half of the cake batter into the bottom.
  6. Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the batter, then top with the remaining cake batter.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This cake can be made a day in advance; simply reheat in the slow cooker on low for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
