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

Nasty! This cake was horrible! I made this for my family of 4 and none of us could eat it. Don't waste your time with this one. Yuk.

Made this for Valentines Day, and it was really good. But like others, I turned off the crock pot at about 3 1/2 hours. Otherwise it would have burned.

Have made this a couple of times and everyone loves it! Definatly a recipe for the chocolate lover.

A complete flop. I follow the instructions according to the directions: it burned on the outside, and turned hard, and the middle taste like it never cooked. (No, nothing was wrong with my slow cooker, it's brand new)

I made this exactly as indicated and it was way too rich. I made this for a Christmas get together and was very disappointed.

Made this and it burned. Had a new 3 qt. crockpot, checked it at 3 hours, 20 min. and it was burnt on edges. Is 4 to 4 1/2 hours really how long it takes? Also, was too chocolatey. Think half milk choc. and half semisweet chips would be better. Am going to try it again, in my old faithful, 28 year old, 3 1/2 qt. crockpot. Hope it works.

Sounds soo good and I'm a chocolate lover so I'm looking forward to this intense chocolaty goodness :-)

Re: chocolate intensity...try using 3/4c semi-sweet and 3/4c milk chocolate chips. that should lessen the intensity of the taste.

good. but *really* intense. next time might cut the chocolate chips down to 1 cup.
