Slow Cooker Chocolate Strawberry Cake

Have you used your slow cooker for desserts yet?

If you’re anything like me, you haven’t quite thought of using the slow cooker for desserts…yet. I was definitely guilty of falling into this trap. Up until now, my slow cooker has been reserved for meats, soups, and stews.

Of course, it works flawlessly for all of these things. But you can also use it for desserts!

If you didn’t know, now you do 🙂

This decadent cake takes a few hours, but requires no hands-on time, and is elegant and delicious. It’s proof your slow cooker is for more than just stews and roasts.
