A self-frosting crockpot cake sounds like a college student's fantasy, but it's real! Water and chocolate syrup on top of the batter ensure a (literally) effortless frosting. Perfect with ice cream and friends!
2 1/4 cups chocolate fudge cake mix
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons oil
2 eggs
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1/4 cup warm water
3 tablespoons sugar
Grease and lightly flour the inside of the crock pot (do not turn it on yet).
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, first measure of water, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for two minutes.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared crock pot. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the surface.
In a small bowl, combine the chocolate syrup, remaining water, and sugar until well mixed. Drizzle over the cake batter.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2 hours or until the cake is mostly set. To serve, scoop out servings of the warm cake and place on a plate or in a bowl. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

This cake was very crumbly and difficult to serve. The recipe didn't say high or low temp, so I did 3 hours on high. It burned just a tiny bit around the edges. Keep an eye on it. If you don't have access to an oven, this is a good way to have some moist chocolate cake.
