Can I put chopped walnuts or pecans on the top instead of ch chips? .. Would I need to add any type sweetener since the walnuts or pecans wouldn’t be sweet like the ch chips .. Thanks
It will be plenty sweet without the chips. That walnuts or pecans would be great in this.
That does sound great. They do have a butter pecan cake, but can’t recall what brand. Just so you know. ☺️
Any recipes for the small slow cooker, cakes and main dishes.
Hi Sarah, I don’t have any, I cook quite big portions because there is 3 of us in my family and my husband takes the leftovers to work.
I am wanting to make this Sunday. But, I need to double it. I need it for a party so I don’t want to try it and it fail. Has anyone tried doubling it? Maybe it would be better to do it in the oven. Does anyone have experience with doubling it in the oven? If so, what size pan?
Do you think it would be okay to double the recipe?
I’m making this now it’s been cooking for 2.5 hrs and doesn’t look like it is setting up chips still and in shape not melted. Should I turn it down to low and cook longer than 3 hrs?
Yes, turning to low would be good. 🙂
I made this today and it burned and didn’t set up 🙁
Liz, how old is your crockpot? Sounds like it is on its way out.
So we don’t use any of the other ingredients that the cake Box asks for meaning like the eggs
Yep! That’s correct Lori 🙂
CAN YOU USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX FOR THIS…LIKE A BLACK FORREST DUMP CAKE?? JUST CURIOUS AS I HAVE ONLY SEEN DUMP CAKES WITH YELLOW CAKE MIXES..WONDERED IF YOU COULD USE CHOCOLATE AS WELL??
Yep! here is a recipe for chocolate: https://www.tammileetips.com/crock-pot-chocolate-cherry-dump-cake/
I make this in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes. Like it better in the oven.
Thanks for the oven directions!
I am going to try this. I love crockpot cooking. Thank you for sharing
Can this be doubled or even tripled for more servings?
I’m not sure how it would cook up if it was doubled 🙂

I made this today. Smelled fabulous while it cooked until I started to notice a burnt aroma in the last 30 mins. It was not done in the middle at the 2 1/2hrs so I continued for another 30 mins on low. I’m just wondering if anyone has had a problem with it burning around the edges and if it should cooked on low? The rest of it tastes great!
What brand of slow cooker did you use? Some cook hotter than others.
I used a Rival crockpot.
Thats what I used too, I’m stumped. Well I’m glad you got to eat part of it 🙂
Is a slow cooker the same as a crock pot? Probably not but hoping that it is for these delicious recipes
Hi Carla, Crock Pot is just a brand of slow cooker, so yes they are the same 🙂
I make a similar cake but in the oven and I use a can of cherries, 1 can drained pineapple chunks, 1 box butter cake mix (I prefer D.Hines), coconut flakes sprinkled across the top and 1 stick of melted butter on top making sure to get all the coconut. I bake it for about 45 to 55 minutes at 350 and it is fabulous. Not so sure it would come out crisp on the top if I made it in a crock pot.
Cooking this right now, just another hour and it will be done. I used peaches instead of cherries cause I love peaches.
Looks yummy! I will definitely have to try this as I love simple to follow recipes. Plus I love cooking with my crockpot 🙂
