Almond Chocolate Crockpot Cake

Recipe type: Dessert

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: 1 hour 30 mins

Total time: 1 hour 35 mins

Serves: 6-8

Super simple and delicious almond chocolate cake! No icing required and this cake is something your won’t soon forget, moist, chocolatey and amazing. Our home gave it 6 thumbs up!

Ingredients

Yellow cake mix
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of oil
1-2 egg or egg substitute
1/8 cup of water (optional)
small bag of almonds or other nut
chocolate chips (chocolate and white)

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients together except the almonds and chocolate chips which will go on top
Add the eggs last. We added a little water to the mixture to make sure it was the right consistency (that is optional)
Bake on high for about 1-2 hours. Crockpots bake different check yours after an hour. We also placed a paper towel inside the crock to trap moisture and avoid a soggy cake.
Once the cake is finished, remove it from the crock. A crockpot sling is preferable but not required.
Add the chocolate chips and almonds immediately and serve warm!

Super simple recipe and most of the ingredients you will have at home in your pantry or frig!

Mix the cake together

Place paper towels on the crock so that it traps moisture and helps the cake bake.

Chop the almonds (or any nut you would like)

Add the almonds and chips to the cake. I would actually recommend you pull the cake out of the crockpot first and then add them. They will melt quickly on a hot cake, no icing needed.

It was absolutely amazing. So so delicious!

Enjoy!

Crockpot Soda Cake

Crockpot Soda Cake

Recipe type: Dessert

Prep time: 30 mins

Cook time: 2 hours

Total time: 2 hours 30 mins

Serves: 10-12

Oh. Yes. I. Did. This was so so fun to make. Everyone loved it and I was so surprised that it tasted great too!! Each sodas flavor came through (unlike when you bake them) and the colors were vivid! Highly recommended especially if you like moist cakes!

Ingredients

1 CUP of the following any soda you’d like to add
2 White Cake Mixes (plus the ingredients required)
2 Cans of Icing (We used cream cheese)
Sprinkles

Instructions

Mix the white mix and it’s ingredients together in a mixing bowl
Grease the crockpot and add mix
Bake until a toothpick comes out on clean (in my crock it’s about 1 1/2 hours on high)
Let the cake rest for 30 minutes
Slice the cake into strips depending on how many sodas you have
Mix soda with a small amount (3-5 drops) of food coloring for vivid color
Treat the cake like a dulce-de-leche cake and add soda on top of pieces in bowls
Put back together and FREEZE for 2 hours
One the soda has set, ice the cake and refrigerate or freeze until you are ready to serve!

This cake was super simple to make with few ingredients!

My cake baked in my crockpot in about 90 minutes

Mix ONE CUP of soda and food coloring in a separate bowl to bring out the vivid color, then add to the cake

Leave in the bowl for about 5-15 minutes. It doesn’t take long at all. This is the dangerous stage, if you leave them to long, the cake will fall apart when you go to remove it. (Be careful!!)

Put them back together and FREEZE. I froze mine for about 2 hours until the soda set. This allows you to ice the cake with ease!

Doesn’t it look pretty, no one would ever know the surprise that lay underneath!

And voila! You’ve got a cake!! If you want to try a suicide cake (mixing all sodas at one) just take a small slice and try it!! Some say that mixing all the sodas amounts to a suicide soda, I say yummy in cake form!! Enjoy!!

Reese’s Crockpot Cake (Delicious FAIL)

Posted by: Lacy April 25th, 2012 · 12 Comments Facebook Pin It

Reese’s Crockpot Cake (Delicious FAIL)

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 2 hours

Total time: 2 hours 15 mins

Serves: 6-8

This was a slight crockpot fail. Now don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, but as you’ll see in the pictures, we had a few problems. Next time (and yes there will be a next time) it can be fixed, and no one will have any additional whip cream to hide the craters. (Again see the pictures below)

Ingredients

Two boxes of cake mix (and related ingredients)
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Instructions

Grease the crockpot
Add the yellow cake mix
Add the chocolate cake mix
Add the Reese’s on top (thus fixing my mistake)
Bake for two hours on HIGH (or until a toothpick comes out clean)
Enjoy!

I was in the mood for something different tonight….I had a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and I thought….hmmmm. Chocolate, Peanut butter and cake…PERFECT!

I mixed my cake mixes, placing the yellow cake on the bottom, in a sprayed crockpot.

I then placed lots and lots of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in the batter

Then I added the chocolate batter, yea I know what you’re thinking….why did I do this in a crockpot?! Could you wait 2 hours for it to get done?!

With most all baking in the crockpot, cover the crockpot with some paper towels (or a towel) to trap moisture and seal in heat.

Two hours later….I couldn’t wait to get it out!!!

Then disappointment!! Many of the Reese Cups sank to the bottom and burned slightly!

It looked like a crater cake!!

But no matter, find the good pieces and make due!! This cake was completely eaten and enjoyed, some pieces just had more whip cream than others!

So how would I turn this Crockpot Fail into a Success…well that’s simple, instead of layering my cake in the middle, I’d simply place the Reese’s on the top of the cake. If they sink slightly that’s okay, because they’d have to sink a good ways to get to the bottom. I would also add a little peanut butter to the yellow cake batter to make it more like a Reese’s! Enjoy my flop, hopefully you can make it pop!!
