I made this cake as written, and cooked it for 1 hr & 30 minutes on high, in my 5-quart round-shaped crock-pot, but I was disappointed as to how it turned out. The cake wasn't moist, and the outside edges were burnt. Perhaps the 1 hr & 30 mins., is too long of a time to cook this cake in ones crock-pot. PDC, I wish I could of given this recipe a better review, but it didn't turn out as I had wished it would have. For those who are thinking about preparing this cake, I suggest you cook this cake less time on high, or on low for a few more hours.

I am a RN and I work in the operating room, which doesn't leave much time for cooking. But when I find the time I love to find recipes on Zaar and try them out. I have been happily married to a loving husband for 4 years, and he really enjoys all the interesting meal ideas that I find!!! I have no children yet, but hopefully in the near future. I enjoy cooking all types of meals, and love cooking for others!! I enjoy looking up new and exciting recipes from Zaar.
