Crock Pot Chocolate Cake...holy freaking cow.

I heard about this recipe from my roommate, Allison. I had never heard of using a crock pot for cakes but this is absolutely incredible and I can't believe I have never done this before! I will DEFINITELY make this again...and again....and again :) I think I should rename this recipe simply "wrong". Because NOTHING should EVER taste this good. Positively sinful.
