It was the weekend again, and I needed to come up with a recipe for our small group pitch-in on Sunday. Problem was that I needed something quick and easy.
You see, I think I might have gone crazy. I have decided that we will repaint our entire house (you think I am crazy now too, don’t you!) on room at a time. Each weekend I pick a new room, a color and then get my whip out to keep Michael and I moving fast enough to get it done in one weekend. 😉 So far we have the master bedroom, living room and Ryder’s room done. The hallway with six doorways and an upper storage space to edge in around is still in process. Thankfully, my husband still loves me even though he hasn’t been able to rest for almost a month now!
Quadruple Chocolate Crock Pot Cake
Anyway, back to the recipe. I needed a dump and go recipe for sure since we were going to tackle Ryder’s room AND the hallway this weekend.
I stumbled across this Quadruple Chocolate Crock Pot Cake and knew it would be an instant winner. And I wasn’t wrong! I mean, come on…it is a Quadruple Chocolate Cake! It is the perfect cake to go with ice cream. Yummo!

Slow Cooker Recommendation
For this yummy Quadruple Chocolate Crock Pot Cake, I used my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker…well, because I am in love with it. Your favorite 5-6 quart slow cooker would work as well.
Reader Note: “This is delicious. I would start watching it about 2 1/2 hours because mine was totally cooked/baked at almost 3 hours. At 4 hours it would have been dry and probably almost burnt. ” – Carolyn
Very good point Carolyn! It is a good rule of thumb to always watch desserts closely the first time you cook them and look for time differences as different slow cookers cook hotter than others.

April 17, 2019 at 8:01 pmIn general…… does it make a difference if you use an oval or round crock pot when making receipes/

April 18, 2019 at 10:20 amHi Gary-
In general it does not matter the shape of the crock as much as the size (2 quart, 4 quart, 6 quart, etc.). Smaller slow cookers will take longer to cook than larger ones. On some baking recipes it is important to pay attention to the size used not only for cooking times but also so that the center will get done. Hope this helps!

March 1, 2015 at 10:08 pmI haven’t tried it with any kind of substitute, but you might try plain Greek yogurt.

February 26, 2015 at 3:51 pmHow would white chocolate or chocolate squares and chips do?
Aunt Lou says
February 27, 2015 at 1:55 amI would assume that you could replace the milk chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. Of course, it would change the taste, but it would be worth a shot! Let me know how it turns out!

February 20, 2015 at 6:41 pmMy crock pot only has a low setting. How long to bake on low?
Aunt Lou says
February 23, 2015 at 2:06 amI would try 6-7 hours on low, but be sure to keep a close eye on it the first time until you know for sure how your crock pot will cook it up. Enjoy!
