Ingredients
  

Pudding Layer

  • 3.9 ounce chocolate pudding mix Instant
  • 2 cups milk

Cake Batter Layer

  • 1 gluten free cake mix Use ingredients listed on the back of the box!
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 ounces chocolate chips bittersweet, dark, or milk chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Spray a Crock Pot with non-stick oil. I like to use coconut oil.
  • Add the gluten free cake mix to a large mixing bowl. Add the ingredients listed on the back of your box to make the cake batter. Note I used Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake mix.
  • Mix the cake batter and pour it into the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker on Low Heat.
  • In another mixing bowl, add the chocolate pudding and milk. Whisk to blend. Let it thicken for 5 minutes.
  • Dump the pudding into the slow cooker by the spoonful. Be sure to drop it all over the top of the cake batter.
  • Sprinkle the bag of chocolate chips over the top of the battters.
  • Place a clean kitchen towel over the slow cooker and then put the lid on top. This towel will absorb the condensation so that it doesn't all fall into your cake.
  • Cook on low heat for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The cooking time will vary by the size and depth of your Crock Pot.
  • Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  1. There are many brands of gluten free cake mix. Use one of these and use the ingredients listed on the back of the mix, or use my Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake Batter recipe.
  2. If the cake is cooled, the molten chocolate will harden.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm it back up in the microwave oven for 35-40 seconds.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
