I was curious how a cake would turn out in my crock pot, because I have never made anything but dinners in it (I don't think). This is the same recipe that is in my Fix-it-or-forget-it crock pot cookbook, except for your additions of the baking chocolate and the nuts (both of which I didn't do). I used my 5 qt. crock pot, and I sprayed it with cooking spray before I began, for easier clean-up. I cooked the cake on HIGH for 2 hours, and we ate dinner quite later than I thought, so it actually sat on the counter (with the crock still with the lid on, but turned off and unplugged) for about 2 1/2 hours. The cake was still fine (still a little warm, even), the pudding layer was great, and it wasn't dried out or rock hard or anything. My husband ate his with vanilla ice cream, but I had mine plain, and it was really good. This is a great recipe. I'd say it serves 4. Thanks for posting it.

I think my problem is that I have an abnormally large crockpot...I hope that's the problem. For us, this was virtually inedible, unfortunately. It was extremely hard / chewy, but the parts that were not that way were tasty. Very soon (within just a couple hours) it was rock-solid, and we had to soak the crockpot for several days to get it to come out. I think This would work quite well in a small crockpot. It smelled delicious, though!
