Could a Good Chocolate Cake Be Better Than Speed Dating?
The title of the recipe is “Triple Chocolate Mess,” but it could also be dubbed “The Matchmaker.”
Maybe we are just looking for a little bit of comfort in our lives. Possibly this is just a way to connect with our fellow man or woman. If you have the ability to make a delicious dessert, for a certain segment of the population it gives you some street cred.
The event was called Crocktober. It's a party designed to bring together food which was made in a crock pot or long cooking device. Meats and soups are usually the standard fare in the ceramic units. My submission is a cake that takes between 6 and 8 hours depending on the effectiveness of the slo-cooker.
When it was discovered that I made the delightful dish, the action started to heat up. I had to write down pertinent information to satisfy some urges. Namely the recipe not my contact info.
Who knew that a cake could be such a conversation starter. So that you are not left wanting for a hot dessert that could be the key to ending that search for love.
Triple Chocolate Mess (for the Crock Pot)
1 package Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 5 oz package Instant Chocolate Pudding
1 12 oz package Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
4 eggs
1 pint Sour Cream
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Mix the ingredients by hand in a bowl then pour into a round crock pot. (The dessert cooks unevenly in an oval crock pot.)
Cook on low for 6-8 hours and serve with ice cream. Just spoon the contents out of the pot, no slicing necessary.
