Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 large box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
4 egg
16 ounces sour cream
1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips

Instructions

Spray crock-pot with non-stick cooking spray or use a liner.
Mix all ingredients except for peanut butter chips thoroughly.
1 box chocolate cake mix, 1 large box instant chocolate pudding mix, 1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup water, 4 egg, 16 ounces sour cream
Add peanut butter chips and stir.
1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips
Cook on low in slow cooker for 4.5 to 5 hours. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

This cake has more of a pudding/sour cream/lave like consistency than any cake baked in an oven.
Either a 5-quart or 6-quart slow cooker works fine, but don't use a smaller slow cooker.
Cake can be stirred after 3 1/2 hours to help prevent the bottom and edges from burning.
I like to serve from the edged first, replace the lid and give the center more time to set up when this cake is being served over a longer period of time.
