ingredients

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

directions

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.

  1. jlkjvk REVIEW:

    what size crock pot ? i have 2 different sizes ? high or low ?

  2. cookfromcali REVIEW:

    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.
