In reply to cindi. Hi cindi! I asked Dan at Platter Talk to answer that question because it was his recipe. His answer was this... I would guess between 30 and 45 mins at 350 depending on thickness. But it's intended to be made in a slow cooker so hard to say.

I don’t have a crockpot..could I bake this in the oven? If so, how long?

In reply to Mary Pat Frick. Hi Mary Pat, this is just my opinion but I don't think you can make all cakes in the crock pot . My reasoning being , if you could we'd see alot more recipes for them. I've searched quite a bit trying to find more cake recipes made in the crock pot and have only found a few. As you thought, there must be a criteria for them to be made in the crock pot. I'm so happy you enjoyed this one!

I made this cake today & the result was great. The cook time was spot-on, the cake moist & it easily slid from my crockpot. I had a choice when it came to the sauce. Here in Iceland, you can use a caramel sauce that’s very thick (almost gummy IMO). Or you can use a caramel sauce that’s more syrup in texture. I wanted something that resembled a light glaze, so I opted for the latter. Now I just have 1 question. Can most cakes make the transition from oven-to-crockpot or is there a specific criteria for that? Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. 🙂

In reply to Valerie. Valerie, For sure! The cake will be a bit wider and not as deep and so cooking time will be decreased. Check it with a tooth pic, and let us know how it turns out. Thank for the great question.

Wow — this cake looks fabulous and so moist, too! However, can this be made in a 6 quart Slow Cooker, instead of a 4 1/2 quart Slow Cooker? Thanks!
