Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Cake

  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

For the White Chocolate Lava

  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding (4 servings, 3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 2 (12 oz) bags white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all cake ingredients.
  2. Whisk or beat until well combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into a lightly greased 6–8 quart slow cooker and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until thick.
  5. Pour the prepared pudding evenly over the cake batter in the slow cooker. Do not stir.
  6. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top of the pudding layer.
  7. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean.
  8. When done, turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid, and let the cake sit 15–20 minutes to set.
  9. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
