What’s better than a cozy, warm bowlful of chocolate cake with a built-in chocolate sauce?
Easy. Making the aforementioned, incredibly delicious cake in the slow cooker. This was so easy to make, and so, so good. I’ve made a variation of this recipe several times before in the oven, but since oven space is prime real estate in this house, I seized a golden opportunity to utilize one of my crockpots.
Incidentally, Bed Bath and Beyond is having a blowout sale on Calphalon digital crockpots – they’re half price until the end of the week……
Anyway, the bowl you see above is all that’s leftover from last night. I’m wondering who is going to get to it first tonight – Sabrina, Alexander, or J.
Maybe I should do the honorable thing and eat it, then claim the dog got to it.
A small sacrifice for peace and harmony, I know.
