This cake would receive 5 stars if it weren't for the stirring. I only used 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 oil, but I did stir the cake every half hour for about 3 hours total baking time in the oval Crock Pot, and it was done then. It is absolutely delicious and everyone loved it. Definitely serve with vanilla ice cream!

SO GOOD! I changed it a little because of all the reviews. I used 1 package chocolate cake mix. 1 package pudding and 4 eggs just like the orginal recipe said to. BUT I only used 1 cup light sour cream, 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup oil and the whole 12oz bag of chocolate chips :) I also cooked it 3 hours in my oval crock pot and then left it on warm for 2 hours. It was perfect.

I only used 1/2 cup sour cream and added 1/2 cup 2% milk (I didn't realize I had so little sour cream). I kept everything else the same and cooked it in my oval slow cooker (Hamilton Beach) for 3 1/2 hours. I think next time I will follow another reviewers suggestion and stir it every so often because the sides baked much quicker than the center. I was looking to make a lava type cake and everyone said this was better than any restaurant's!

I have made this twice now and each time I make it this cake it caves in as soon as I take it out. Too much fluid I think.

This was very easy and delicious. I made it in my crock pot, but keep a watchful eye over it as the time stated in the recipe would have resulted in burning. It was done in 4 hours. We loved the crock pot version because I set it to warm after the cooking was done and we had a warm chocolate cake for hours. Not a recipe for dieters. Lots of sour cream and eggs in this one. this a keeper and I see myself making this one a lot...I may even try to come up with a vanilla or red velvet version! ADDENDUM.....I tried a vanilla version...yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, same amount of eggs, sour cream, oil, and water. Still used the choc chips. DELISH!!!!!!!!

Slow Cooker version: This is so good. It's very rich so you need a good vanilla ice-cream to go with it. It IS NOT a regular cake texture. It's not supposed to be. If you want a regular cake texture then make a cake the "regular way." I've heard of this kind of cake called a lava cake because it's kind of goopy--but not totally. I think next time I may try milk chocolate chips to see if it will be a little less rich--for the kids' sake. Love it!

This does NOT work in oval shaped crockpots. I was so dissappointed! Burnt on the outside and runny in the middle. I am sure it makes a great cake if cooked the traditional way.

I cut the sour cream to 1 cup, used 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup oil and the 4 eggs. baked in a bundt pan - is a very moist cake - kids love it, i have also used yoghurt(any flavour) in place of the sour cream.
