sounds great! Two questions: what kind of flour worked best? and what brand of cherries?

[angel-jd1]

For flour I just used what I had in the fridge. I had a little of Analise Roberts mix left (3/4c) and the rest was bob's red mill all purpose gluten-free flour (1/4 c). It turned out great.

Marachino cherries were Wal-mart Great Value brand. Label says gluten-free

Hope you enjoy it as much as I am

I have to confess, this was my 1st crock-pot baking experiment. I'm like you, I was like "what!! BAKE in a crock pot??!?!!!" I have been craving a ooey gooey chocolatey thing. This recipe sounded like what I had been dreaming of. Sooooo I tried it.

It couldn't have been much easier to make. I was so fascinated by it, I kept peeking through my glass lid seeing what it was doing. It rose like a regular cake. Made the house smell yummy. Under the cake part was this hot fudgey sauce stuff OMG!!

I liked this recipe because you didn't have to have the special baking pan for the crock pot. I don't have one of those. You could just use the regular stonewear part that comes with the pot.

I'm not sure if I would "bake" much else in the ol crock-pot. However, I do know that I will definately make this recipe again.

OMGosh! Sounds heavenly, I dont think i can wait that long for it to be ready to eat! Sounds so good!!!

I want it now....I can't wait.....my hubby needs a little topping for his vanilla ice cream. this sounds perfect.

[Sweetfudge]

Mmm, really does sound delicious! I haven't had cake in so long! I had a thought while reading the recipe. There was an amazing recipe I found on an IBS site a few months back for individualized cakes. Basically just the same concept, only you cooked the cake in a mug. It was also cake mix with chocolate pudding. If anyone feels up to it, I'm sure we would all LOVE a gluten-free variation. Maybe I'll check back on the site....

Thx for the recipe

Here is a Hot Fudge Cake recipe that doesn't require a crockpot.

Hot Fudge Cake

1 cup rice flour

3/4 cup white sugar

5 Tbsp baking cocoa, divided in half

4 tsp gluten-free baking powder

1/4 tsp salt (Don't try this without the salt)

1/2 cup milk

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1-2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup packed brown sugar

1-3/4 cup hot water

In a medium bowl, combine flour, white sugar, 1/2 of the cocoa powder, and the salt. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla until smooth. Spread in an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan. Combine brown sugar and the other half of the cocoa and sprinkle this over the top of the batter in the cake pan. Pour hot water over all and DO NOT stir. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.

Yield: 9 servings.
