Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup instant vanilla pudding mix

2 cups hot water

Optional for serving: whipped cream, caramel sauce, or fresh berries

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients:

        In a separate bowl, blend the whole milk, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined.

          Incorporate the Pudding Mix:

            Gently fold the instant vanilla pudding mix into the cake batter until it is completely integrated. This step is crucial for achieving that rich, creamy texture.

              Prepare Your Crockpot:

                Generously spray the interior of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to avoid any sticking issues. Pour the prepared cake batter evenly into the bottom of the crockpot.

                  Pour in the Water:

                    Carefully pour the hot water over the batter in the crockpot, ensuring not to stir. This step allows the water to create a luscious pudding layer beneath the cake as it cooks.

                      Cook the Cake:

                        Place the lid on the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. The cake is done when the top is firm, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                          Serve and Enjoy:

                            After cooking, turn off the crockpot and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. For an indulgent touch, serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a handful of fresh berries.
