I've made this a dozen times over the past few years, it's always a hit!!!

Great stuff!!! Oooy gooy goodness. It's like one really big Betty Crocker warm delight. I used devil's food cake mix, chocolate instant pudding mix, and "special dark" chocolate chips (used the whole 12 oz. bag rather than the suggested 8 oz.). It's not coming out all at once, but you can cut pieces and/or scoop it out with ease. I may try using mint chips or vanilla chips next time because it is a lot of chocolate. Tasted better warm and/or cool rather than hot out of the crock pot?!?!?!?

I've made this recipe a dozen times too, it's great!

This cake is a hit. I've made it for years. Don't try to flop it out on the plate. Scoop it out from the crock pot. You can make it with so many variations in flavors. It is soo good and everyone always asks for the recipe.

Thank you SO much for this recipe. I made it this last weekend whilst camping with my family and a load of friends.. Shew... what a way to gain a crowd of admirers! what a hit!! 20 people are very very grateful!!! thank you :)

We cooked it for the 3 hours on high, then turned off the crockpot and left the cake overnight. The next day it was a firmer, dense and rich cake. Could have lifted it out of the pot to put on a plate if I wished--it didn't make it that far!!

Excellent! Made my house smell so good and is so moist and delish! I just need to figure out how to make the sides stay as moist as the middle... My crock pot doesn't seal well enough I think.

I made this IN the office, made in a crock pot on my desk. Came out perfect and the buildup from everyone in the area smelling chocolate cake was great.

I have been making this cake for a few years now! It's easy, convenient and delicious. I take it to work and cook it while there. Makes the aroma in the office amazing and everyone enjoyed the cake!

I have made this and its great. This version of it doesn't call for a box of pudding (though I used pudding added mix) It was a little more solid that my last attempt... a good thing really. Try adding instant coffee (1 tsp.) or coffee for the water. I also switched out Greek yogurt for the sour cream ('cause its what I had) cooked at high for only an hour, then 2 more on low and then 2 more on warm. If you cook it for the time suggested, I think most crockpots will scorch it.

After reading the previous reviews I just had to let you know that you can get the cake out in one piece w/o spooning. Generously spray the crock pot, then when cake is done and has set for a little bit; outline the cake with a skinny knife to get it loose from the edges. Put a plate over the top of the pot and turn it upside down. I cooked the cake on low for 5 hours, turned off crock pot and let set for another hour before taking it out. Considering I like bakery cakes best, this cake was pretty good! Worth a try!

I tried this recipe when i was waiting on my oven to be fixed. I came across this crock pot cake everyone in my family couldnt believe how good it was, now im being asked to make it for birthdays and family gatherings.The only thing is its very hard to get it out of the pot without it falling apart. Anyone have any ideas? i tried cooking spray but it burnt the sides.

Use a crock pot liner.

Where do I find a crock pot cake pan? Have looked in my local stores and to no avail. Thanks, Angela

I've collected a mountain of these things over the years. You'll find them in Salvation Army and Goodwill type stores. They are golden metal round cans with a lid which has vents. That's why old coffee cans work too. I bet eBay has a bunch.

It is going to be gooey, that is what makes it so good!

Would it still be good lightened up do you think? ie light/ fat free sour cream and/or sugar free pudding?

Mary, every once in a while, ya just gotta go for it.. Life is too short to skimp on chocolate ANYTHING!!! Like Auntie Mame says; "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death" Live a little...
