Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle
This crockpot chocolate caramel cake couldn’t be easier to throw together. Gone are the days of slaving over cake batter, mixing it all up, and waiting for it to bake just right. This made from scratch cake is so simple to whip up using your crock pot.
That’s right – a crockpot. You put together all of the ingredients, throw them in the slow cooker and head off to enjoy your day while it cooks! It’s seriously that easy. You do not have to do any baking or pre-cooking of the cake at all. The crockpot will do all of the work for you.
I love using the crockpot to bakes cakes. Not only because it makes it really easy for me, but because of the texture that it gives the cake when it’s finished. Check out our crockpot apple cobbler as another great example. It’s much different than baking it in the oven. It makes the cake soft, gooey, and in my opinion, more delicious!

When the cake is finished and you are ready for plating, drizzle the additional caramel over the cake and sprinkle it with coarse sea salt. You can leave off the salt for anyone who might not be a fan of the salty sweet combo.
