Recipe for Slow Cooker Moist Chocolate and Caramel Cake
Makes about 10 servings
Ideal slow cooker size:  6 quart

4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup milk or cream
1 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
1 egg
1 (16.5 oz) yellow cake mix, unprepared
1/4 cup cocoa powder (if you like it really chocolaty then put in 1/2 cup)
1 cup mini chocolate chips (or more if you like it like that…and I do)
2 Tbsp butter
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup evaporated milk
Garnish with chocolate syrup and chocolate, if desired

1. In small microwave safe bowl, combine cream cheese and milk. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute; remove and stir. Continue microwaving for 30 second intervals until cream cheese melts; stir with wire whisk to blend.
2. Place in large bowl; stir in yogurt, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and egg. Mix well. Add cake mix and stir just until combined.
3. Spray a 6 quart slow cooker with nonstick baking spray. Spread batter evenly in slow cooker.
4. In small saucepan, combine butter, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk; heat to boiling, stirring until blended. Carefully pour over batter in slow cooker.
5. Cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Uncover, turn off slow cooker, top loosely with foil, and let stand for 30 minutes.
6. Gently run a sharp knife around the edges of the cake and invert over serving plate until cake drops out. If any sauce remains in slow cooker, spoon over cake. Cool for 30-45 minutes before serving.  Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.  Garnish with chocolate and chocolate sauce, if desired.

Review:
How could this cake not be good?  Cream cheese, chocolate, sweetened condensed milk.  It’s got all the makings for greatness.  If you’re a coconut fan I think it would be so yummy to add some in with the batter too.  4 stars.

    Hi friend! Wanted to let you know that I'm linking to this recipe and to the one on slow cooker pork tacos for a round up I'm doing on the 13th all about dishes I can't wait to try! Your photos might be included in the collage, but won't be listed alone so that they can't be "swiped." And of course, there will be a link back to your site so that folks have to come visit you to learn how to make the recipes! ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
