Death by Chocolate Slow Cooker Dump Cake
This easy chocolate slow cooker dump cake could not be more delicious. It's rich and loaded with chocolate flavor all made right in the Crock-Pot.
Seriously, it's National Chocolate Day! Now, I would (and do) happily celebrate every single day but it's cool that there is actually a day where chocolate is celebrated publicly. It was hard to resist sharing some chocolate goodness, so I didn't. I didn't resist. Can you even blame me? Let me show you just how simple this is to make in your slow cooker. This recipe was born of deep chocolate cravings and will definitely satisfy yours.
I've been itching to try making a "dump" cake. Not sure if I was just living under a rock or what, but I've only recently heard about this epic idea a year or two ago. So, it was certainly about time to try one for myself and to honor chocolate day with a whole lot of chocolate lovin' seemed to be in order.
Here goes! I dumped all of my ingredients into my slow cooker and hoped for the best!
I think I nailed it! This is definitely going to be my quick fix for those ever-so-intense cravings for some chocolate. I only used 5 ingredients which is also a big plus. I don't think it would be possible to legally cram in any more chocolate flavor.
SLOW COOKER DUMP CAKE
This recipe is only for true chocolate fans, no lightweights please. Totally sweet, ridiculously chocolaty. You definitely won't need to eat much to satisfy that sweet tooth. That much I can promise you. {insert goofy looking "thumbs up" emoticon here}
Want chocolate? Need chocolate? This recipe is a must try!

Death by Chocolate Slow Cooker Dump Cake
Death by Chocolate Slow Cooker Cake. Rich but easy.
Ingredients
- Devils Food Cake Mix (16 - 18 oz)
- 1 Box Chocolate Pudding Mix (3.9 oz)
- 1 Cup Nutella
- 1.5 Cups Milk
- 1 Stick of Butter (Melted)
- Recommended: Line slow cooker with parchment paper or a slow cooker liner
Instructions
- Line your slow cooker with parchment paper or liner.
- Dump the dry cake mix evenly along the bottom of your lined slow cooker.
- Then, repeat with the chocolate pudding mix.
- Pour melted butter evenly over the top of the dry ingredients, repeat process with the milk.
- Last, spoon in your Nutella over the top.
- Take a spoon and press down any dry mix that isn't wet.
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Cooking time will vary depending on your size. The larger it is, the less cook time will be needed.
- The cake will be slightly "wet" in the center. This is a good thing, you don't want to overcook it. There are no eggs in this recipe, so wet is good! It's best when the center is cooked just slightly beyond it's original liquid state and the sides are starting to firm up. Enjoy!

Do you have your own chocolate recipes?
So, how are you celebrating National Chocolate Day? What's your favorite chocolate recipe?
what if u dont have a liner
What temp and how long to do this recipe in the oven?
Should the lid of the crockpot be on during cooking?
Could creamy peanut butter be used in place of Nutella?
Do you have to use a liner in the crockpot? Could I just spray it with something like Pam?
Don't care for nutella. Can it be substituted?
I made it tonight and it's so good, so rich! But it's more like a pudding. The recipe said wet in the center but my whole cake seems to be really wet. My family is not having a problem with it though. I had it in for 4.5 hours, I was afraid to burn it. Any tips for when I make it again?
I plan on making this over the weekend.
Is the Pudding mix instant or the type that is cooked. I understand that you don't cook it before you mix it. Just want to be sure I buy the right ingredient. Having my grandchildren over for the weekend so there is a littler pressure here
Do did you use instant or cook and serve pudding ?
Instant for this!
Is there substitute for nutella?
Any chocolate and hazelnut spread should work. You could probably use any nut butter, but it would take away from the deep and rich chocolate flavor.
I had to laugh over the reviews. From what I can see no one appears to have made the cake, just drooling over the picture. Me to lol I have taken this a step further and actually have this cooking in the crock pot right now. Assembly was easy and I promise to come back with a final review.
Thank you Tina! I can't wait to read your in-depth review on the cake! Thanks for dropping in to comment =)
I have returned to let you know I did indeed make this tonight. It is as rich as the picture. Followed the directions exactly and it reminded me of a lava cake but better. I'm not really a Nutella fan but it really works in this cake! Good stuff, will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Can u use caramel instead of Nutella
@Heidi, Has anyone tried this with caramel instead of Nutella? That sounds better to me
Oh my goodness! I want this 🙂
What a fun way to make cake! How can anything chocolate be bad, even if it's not perfectly round. LOL

Death by Chocolate is right. This looks deadly! In a good way of course 😉 YUMMY!
Is there anything that you can't make in a slow cooker? That's a real question. It seems like you've made everything that could possibly made.
You had me at death by chocolate. Oh my ooey gooey goodness... I totally need this now
I do not understand how you stay so thin. Your desserts always look insanely good! We'll definitely be trying this soon. 🙂
LOL Mickey, you just made my night! If I could figure out how to actually keep thin and eat this... I would bottle that idea up and sell it =)
I have seen commercials showing dump cakes. I love to see actual photos of someone's dump cake. I bet this tasted amazing all warm from the oven.
I am packing and can not make a lot of things but I have not packed my slow cooker yet. I will be making this, the perfect packing treat!
Oh my, this reminds me of the warm, gooey chocolate pudding cake my mom used to make for my sisters and I when we were young. She ALWAYS made it when the Wizard of Oz was on tv.
This looks really good. I am always looking for new things to try in the slow cooker.
Wow that looks amazing! Looks so gooey too which is how I like desserts.

I can definitely think of worse ways to go! Super yum.
My kids would go absolutely crazy for this! I'm sure hubby would too, but the kids especially have a love for Nutella. They visited Italy over the summer and that is all they want now! Will definitely try out this recipe! 🙂
Dump cake from the crockpot is so freaking yummy! We make it all the time for a quick no fuss dessert. Top it with some caramel next time and watch how much more delectable it will be!
Okay, I'm salivating right now...this looks fantastic! Love how you can cook in the crock pot!
This looks fantastic. I'm obsessed with anything having to do with chocolate. Thank you for the thorough instructions, I have to try this at home.
I bow to you, oh Queen of Slow Cookers. Is there nothing you can't make? Pretty soon you're going to be telling me how to roast a 26 pound turkey in a slow cooker.
What a delicious way to kick the bucket! I'm always up for a new slow cooker recipe. Thanks for sharing this one!
Would you believe I've never made a dump cake? I just love the idea though, it takes the fuss out of worrying about presentation and layers1
I'll be right over. Holy cow does that look amazing!!
I need to try this. It looks so good.
