Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lava Cake
If you think slow cookers are just for pot roast or soup … think again! You can easily make this Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lava Cake! Maybe you have heard of Chocolate Lave Cake – I decided to give it a seasonal spin with plenty of pumpkin and spice! The best part – it’s as easy as mixing a few a few ingredients to get this amazing Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lava Cake as the result!
You can use any spice cake mix you like, this brand just happens to be the only one I could find in my store that day. I found the Nestle Pumpkin Spice morsels at Walmart – and they are seasonal, so don’t wait too long to grab a bag or two! I found the Pumpkin Spice Jello pudding mix at Walmart also – and it’s seasonal too! Both products were on the big baking display in the main aisle (action alley), not the regular baking aisle.
Your Slow Cooker
For this recipe, I used the Hamilton Beach Programmable Stay or Go Slow Cooker, 6-Quart
. Hamilton Beach knows how important it is for families to share meals together and a slow cooker makes preparing it stress-free and hands-off. The more active our families get, the more indispensable our slow cooker becomes.
Whether you’re hosting a party or simply making dinner on a hectic weeknight, a slow cooker gives you amazing ways to cook with convenience and simplicity. The Hamilton Beach Programmable Stay or Go Slow Cooker, 6-Quart is perfect for the cook who is busy all day but wants a home-cooked meal at night! As you can see from this post, it works great for dessert too! Having a slow cooker is the answer when you want dinner or dessert without a lot of fuss! And with this slow cooker, technology takes a big leap forward from the outdated slow cookers found in yesterday’s kitchens.
FREE eCookbook
Hamilton Beach also has a FREE eCookbook with 25 Most Popular Slow Cooker Recipes – be sure to download your copy!
Just an FYI, after the cooking time, this cake may appear raw in the middle – but I assure you, it is the “lava” part of this cake. Just scoop some into a bowl and top it off with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream – that’s when it goes from good to amazing! Try to control your enthusiasm as you relish each bite! I couldn’t help but think how great this would be for Thanksgiving – and all season long!

I know this is an old post. We just love pumpkin…ok it is not the fall, but it sounds good to me. I have some pumpkin pudding mix and a spice cake, but I do not have the pumpkin chips. You think the butterfinger, butterscotch, or just plain white would work best? You may not even be monitoring this site since it has be a number of years.
Thanks

That slow cooker looks awesome. And ummm hello, lava cake, made in the slow cooker, and pumpkin. The trifecta!
Hi Jamie,I can't wait to try your Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lava Cake, it looks fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!Come Back Soon,Miz Helen
Pumpkin Lava Cake sounds amazing! I want to try this in the slow cooker…I've never made a dessert in the slow cooker. I think it's time!
So smart! All of this – the slow cooker, the pumpkin spice, and the lava!!!
this recipe sounds great – I have never made a cake in a crock pot before but might need to try this out in the camper when traveling as I do not have an oven in it.
This is so good looking – I have never tried a dessert in a slow cooker so I better get on that!
I would make a coffee pot roast with potatoes and carrots. Season with salt and pepper, add half a pot of cold or room tempt. coffee and some onion soup mix. 🙂 Slow cook.
Cake in a slow cooker is about the best thing ever! This is such a great recipe!
