Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can Coca Cola
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Prepare your crockpot by lightly greasing the interior with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, Coca Cola, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring no dry cake mix lumps remain.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared crockpot, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the pot with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly across the top of the cake batter, allowing them to float slightly on the surface.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low heat for 2 to
- 5 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent temperature and moisture.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
- Once cooked, turn off the crockpot and let the cake rest for 15-20 minutes to cool slightly and set.
- Carefully remove the cake from the crockpot by lifting it out with the help of parchment paper or using a large spatula.
- Warm the chocolate frosting slightly to make it more spreadable, then evenly cover the top of the cake with the frosting.
- Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving the cake warm.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smoother, more consistent batter.
- For extra moisture, choose a high-quality chocolate cake mix.
- Don't open the crockpot lid during cooking—each peek releases precious heat and moisture.
- If your marshmallows sink, try tossing them in a light dusting of flour before sprinkling.
- For a gourmet touch, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
- Check your cake slightly earlier than the recommended time, as slow cookers can vary in temperature.
- Let the cake rest after cooking to allow it to set and become more stable for frosting.
- For a professional finish, use an offset spatula to spread the warm chocolate frosting evenly.
