Crockpot desserts are easy with recipes like this Crockpot Vanilla Butterscotch Pudding Cake! This Slow Cooker Cake is like a dump cake or lava cake. Moist, gooey and delicious! Made with vanilla pudding, butterscotch chips and more.
Crockpot Vanilla Butterscotch Pudding Cake
If you’re a lava cake kind of person and your idea of the best dessert is a piece of super moist gooey cake, then making a cake in your crockpot is how you do it. This slow cooker Vanilla Butterscotch Pudding Cake is rich in taste and would be divine with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
I’ve made a few other Crockpot Cakes. Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Brownie Cake, Crockpot Lava Cake and a Slow Cooker Blackberry Cobbler.
If you’re looking for a cake that is decorated, this is NOT your cake. This cake is best just scooped right out of the slow cooker, right into a dessert bowl. It takes longer than baking a regular cake, but not as long as a crockpot dinner.
The sauce that you pour on top while putting together your recipe seems wrong….. you question how it’s really going to work and then the magic happens. It creates the pudding lava. The delicious scrumptious saucy lava!

The best part is that the slow cooker does most of the work. There aren’t a lot of baking skills needed to make this cake.
