Honey Crockpot Cake is a Naturally Sweet Treat
Healthy cake recipes like this honey crockpot cake recipe proves your crockpot isn't just for meals, but also for rich, moist, wonderful desserts.
I originally came up with this recipe during the hot, summer days when I didn't want to heat up the kitchen, but even on cold days, I love making this cake because it's so moist and delicious.
Because honey is used as the sweetener, this is a perfect way to indulge yourself during the holidays.
Instead of eating fudge or candy, enjoy this instead, while feeling virtuous.
Baking with honey means your blood sugar is less likely shoot to the stars and then skydive like it would with sugar.
I'm a chocoholic, so in a moment of weakness I threw in a handful of semi-sweet chips into the batch.
The chips all settled down to the bottom and gave this cake a dark brown base.
This cake is just as good without them, but as far as I'm concerned, even healthy cake recipes like this one aren't dessert without chocolate.
A slow cooker
is an easy way to cook and even bake without heating up your kitchen.

Using a Crockpot
One word of warning: unlike other crockpot recipes, you can't go off and leave this honey crockpot cake to bake all day.
You will need to cook it on high for about two and a half hours.
After about two hours, test the cake periodically by inserting a knife in the center.
The honey burns more quickly than sugar would, so keep an eye on it.
I usually bake honey crockpot cake in the morning before lunch or in the evening after dinner and save it for the next day.
