Notes
- The coffee granules enhance the chocolate flavor but are not a must-have ingredient
- Make sure that you don't mix the layers before baking.
- Watch the edges of the cake as it cooks, you want to make sure you don’t overbake the cake.
- If your slow cooker tends to burn desserts, try lining the insert with parchment paper and then spray with cooking spray.
- I used Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix in this recipe.
- The cooking time for your cake may vary depending on the size, make and model of your slow cooker.
