Slow Cooker Molten Chocolate and Caramel Cake

I am in love with this Slow Cooker Molten Chocolate and Caramel Cake.  Besides this being rich, chocolatey, and delicious, it is so easy to make and the clean up is a breeze!  It all goes into parchment paper, which helps keep the sides from over cooking, so the mess can just be crumpled up and thrown away when you are done.  Not to mention that it cooks in the slow cooker, so no need to heat up the oven.  My house smelled amazing while this was cooking up too, who needs scented candles when you can have a molten chocolate cake slowly cooking?!
When finished cooking, the top will become a layer of chocolate cake, and underneath will be a gooey, chocolate caramel sauce.  I like to serve this up warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 

Be sure to follow the recipe exactly, the secret is not mixing the layers in together, no matter how much you want to.  Your slow cooker should look just like this before putting the lid on to cook:

    For the first layer:
  • parchment paper
  • 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 1 1/4 c. milk

  • 1 (3.9) oz. box instant chocolate pudding

Instructions

  • Cut out a large piece of parchment paper and place it in your slow cooker on low heat, then lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Mix together the cake mix, milk, oil, and eggs for the first layer and beat for two minutes. Pour into the parchment paper in the slow cooker.
  • Mix together the instant pudding and milk and beat for two minutes, then carefully and evenly pour the pudding over the cake layer in the slow cooker- but DO NOT MIX IT IN!
  • Carefully arrange a layer or Rolo mini candies over the top of that, but DO NOT MIX IT IN!
  • Place lid on slow cooker and cook on low for about 3 hours, cooking time will vary depending on your slow cooker. Cake is ready when a toothpick placed in the center half way down comes out clean.

    • That's what I did, although there wasn't much left, haha. I just put what was left in some tupperware in the fridge, then warmed it up in the microwave when we had it again.

  2. Trying this tonight for the first time - can't wait. Was wondering though the size of the bag that you used of the Rolo Minis?

  4. Do you mix up the cake as directed on the box and then add the milk, oil, and eggs? Same with the pudding mix.

    • I haven't tried cooking it in the oven, but I would try cooking it at 350 degrees and continually checking it until the center is set.

  13. What it the 1oz box of chocolate pudding mean, is that the packets of chocolate moose stuff ? Sorry for being a bit thick

  15. Do you know if it's possible to make this with a chocolate cake recipe? I don't use cake box mixes and would prefer to use a homemade cake mix instead. Thank you!

  18. Oh, yum! I love caramel and chocolate. I am going to make this this weekend. We have been all about slow cooker recipes lately on our blog and this one will be a great one to try. Thanks for another great recipe ;)

  21. I cooked this exactly like the recipe. At three and a half hours it was still like soup. Continued on for another 30 minutes and still the same. I know crock pots are different but I would have thought that at least by 4 hours it would have set at least some, but it never did. Any suggestions on maybe what went wrong? We still loved it even though it was like pudding. Thank you very much.

  22. No parchment paper, no problem..I just used cooking spray on the crock pot. In addition, I couldn't find the Rolos, so I went with Carmel Kisses.. yes a lot of unwrapping but oh so worth it.. my family and friends raved, (and drooled) and begged for more.

  24. You were the hit of the potluck! My crockpot might be bigger; I accidentally made a family-sized pudding recipe and barely had enough to cover the cake layer. My temp might be different as well -- it needed about 3.5 hours on low to set to my liking.If anyone is on the fence about this, give it a go. Seriously, amazing. I was practically signing autographs and getting papped before the potluck was over. Thanks so much!

  26. I can't wait to try this recipe. I'm going to use sea salt caramels instead of Rolos, I hope it works. I love chocolate, caramel, and sea salt together. Could you substitute a white cake mix with vanilla pudding and peanut butter chips? I love peanut butter and white chocolate together too.

    • That's a tough question. I think I would probably try white chocolate chips and caramel bits. The caramel bits can be found near the chocolate chips in most grocery stores. It sounds good - let me know how it turns out.

    • Yes, you can make this without the parchment paper if you prefer. Do spray the crock pot so it doesn't stick to the sides. Thanks for asking!
