A cake baked in a slow cooker may seem unusual. But smiles around the dinner table prove how tasty it is. Sometimes, for a change of pace, I substitute butterscotch chips for chocolate. —Marleen Adkins, Placentia, California

This was great! The suggested 8 servings only made it to 4 in my house!

It was a hit! The comment from wasoongu was absolutely correct. It was very rich, only needs about a cups of the ch. chips and you really must eat it with vanilla ice cream.

Good, but not great. Both my husband and I agreed that it was missing something. I agree that it's very rich, although it lacks sweetness. I'll try it with a combo of milk & semi-sweet chips next time.

My nephew and son love this cake. It is rich and a little goes a long way. Don't forget the ice cream!

This cake is AMAZING and super easy to make. I learned about this cake at a TOH cooking show. Dana Elliott pointed out that if you are using a metal lined slow cooker, rather than a crock style slow cooker, cut the cooking time in 1/2. Perhaps that is why previous posts recommend cooking for only 1-1/2 hours. I Have a crock and it came out perfect after 4 hours or so. This recipe is VERY rich and wonderful! Definitely making it again!

This was so GOOD! This reminded us of Applebee's dessert but much better. It is very rich and must be served with plenty of vanilla ice cream! The cooking time for me was only 1 1/2 hours.

Very good. I used milk chocolate chips and I didn't think it was too rich at all. I would only cook it for 2 hours on high next time. I cooked mine on high for 3 hours and it was a little burned on the edges. Still very tastey. Will definately make again.

This was really good. It was moist and gooey. My family all enjoyed it and surprisingly it was just as good the next day after being put in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds before adding the icecream over top. I only gave it 4 stars because it was so incredibly rich. I had to have only a really small piece (like 1/4 cup) and put twice as much ice cream on to for me to enjoy it. I may make this again if my husband requests it.
