Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake

Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake

This recipe is an oldie but goodie, I’ve been making it to many years to count. It is perfect when you need something quick and easy that especially if you have a bunch to feed or are just a chocolate lover. It goes together in less than 10 minutes and can cook in about 2 1/2 – 3 hours on high. You’ll see in the picture below what it looks like when done. Use a toothpick or cake tester to test it for doneness. Be sure to check just the cake layer or you’ll think it isn’t done.

I didn’t have any chocolate sauce in the house so I made my own by warming 4 tablespoons of whipping cream with just over a cup of chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate chips are completely melted. Let cool before pouring over whipped cream.
