Crock Pot Chocolate Pudding Cake

Not usually a fan of convenience foods and mixes, this dessert is one of those surprises that is exceptionally good--very moist--very rich--very chocolate.  What more could anyone ask!

12 Servings

1 package devil's food cake mix, (18 ounce)

1 3 oz. package instant chocolate pudding mix

2 cups sour cream

4 eggs

1 cup water

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

whipped cream, or ice cream

Mix the cake mix and pudding mix; beat in the sour cream, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and chocolate chips.

Spray the inside of a 5 quart Crock Pot with vegetable cooking spray; pour in the batter.  Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours. Center should be just set; a toothpick inserted in the center will come out with moist crumbs when done.  Do not overcook.

To serve: spoon into bowls while still hot and top with whipped cream or ice cream.
