Tracy - I’m sorry. I need to remember that I have international readers now (which kind of really blows my mind).

SR Flour = flour that already has a raising agent in it. SR stands for “self raising”. You could use plain flour and add your own raising agent.

Castor Sugar = sugar that has been ground a little more finely than regular sugar. It dissolves a little easier, especially in a cake like this where you aren’t creaming the butter and sugar together. Having said that, I just use regular sugar because castor sugar is more expensive so I only use it in “special” cooking. I don’t seem to have any trouble using regular sugar with this particular recipe.

Katie - yes it is a cake made from scratch. An easy one of course. LOL.

Precious - I’ll put the kettle on. Better come quick though - it’s more than half gone already!!!

Thanks everyone else for your kind comments.

I would never have thought to make a chocolate cake in a crockpot! Ingenious! Looks like it was a success - and that icing looks delicious! Was it home-made from scratch? Mmm

Congratulations! That looks great. I actually made a perfect cake this week (honestly, best one ever!) and Hubby moved it and I couldn’t find it. So it got left for a few days. Sigh.

Maybe I’ll have a go in the slow cooker. I like the idea of not heating up the house…

I am going to have to try that, but it reminds me how different things are in other countries (I’m in the USA). Castor sugar? SR flour?

I can do vanilla essence - I think that’s vanilla extract. What fun to read though!
