If you’re looking for a cake that be 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 lava. The delicious scrumptious saucy lava!
Crockpot Vanilla Butterscotch Pudding Cake

Total time
I used my 6 quart crockpot. It started to look brown around the edges after 1½ hours, so I turned it down to LOW for the remaining time. Chocolate chips or peanut butter chips would be a great substitution.
