This chocolate lava cake pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a touch of freshness, consider serving it with sliced strawberries or raspberries.

A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce can also enhance the dessert’s richness. If you prefer a bit of crunch, sprinkle some crushed nuts or chocolate shavings on top. A cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of milk makes for a perfect accompaniment to balance the sweetness.

4-Ingredient Chocolate Lava Cake

Ingredients
1 box of chocolate cake mix
1 package of instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups of milk
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix.
Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly gooey.
Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the cake sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
