chocolate crock-pot cake

it's funny that laura posted the turkey meatball recipe. it's one of my favorites and i make it all the time. it comes from the "best-loved slow cooker recipes" book and it's great. i usually make it with mashed potatoes, but love it with egg noodles too. i made it last night since it's my favorite go-to crock-pot recipe. and i mentioned this in the comments of laura's post, but i always double the gravy. if not, there's definitely not enough.

so to go along with my crock-pot meatballs, i made cjane's chocolate crock-pot cake. it was really easy and (according to everyone else) really good. i just don't love chocolate cake, so as far as chocolate cake goes, it was good. ella just thought it was so weird that i made a cake in the crock-pot. we had it with whip cream and ice cream for double the fun.

here's the recipe:

1 package chocolate cake mix
1 container of sour cream (8 oz)
1 cup chocolate morsels
1 cup water
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil (i almost always substitute oil for applesauce in cakes, and so for this, since i hadn't made this before, i did half applesauce and half oil)
1 package instant chocolate pudding mix

spray crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.
mix cake mix, sour cream, chocolate morsels, water, egss, oil and pudding mix in a bowl by hand.
pour into crock pot. cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
