For you Jeannie....

Today we had a little play date with some of Lacey's friends, pictures to come, but we were talking about different recipes and I told my friend Jeannie that I would post this cake recipe up that my dear Aunt Beverly just emailed me. I haven't tried it yet. I was actually thinking about trying for Thayne's Birthday next week. So I will let you know!! Enjoy!!

Rocky Road Chocolate Cake


 1 (18.25) package German Chocolate Cake Mix
 1 (3.9 oz) package chocolate instant pudding mix
 3 large egss, lightly beaten
 1 cup sour cream
 1/3 cup butter, melted
 3 1/4 cups milk, divided
 1 (3.4 oz.) package chocolate cook and serve pudding mix
 1/2 cup chopped pecans
 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
 vanilla ice cream (optional)

 1. Beat cake mix, with next 5 ingredients, and 1 1/4 cups milk at medium 
 speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as 
 needed.  pour batter into a lightly greased 4-qt. slow cooker.

 2. Cook remaining 2 cups milk in a heavy nonaluminum saucepan over medium 
 heat, stirring often, 3 to 5 minutes or just until bubbles appear (DO NOT 
 BOIL); remove from heat.(see note at bottom)

 3.  Sprinkle cook-and-serve pudding mix over batter. Slowly pour hot milk 
 over pudding.  Cover and cook on LOW 3 1/2 hours.

4.  Meanwhile, toast pecans in oven until lightly browned only about 5 
 minutes.

 5.  Turn off slow cooker at end of 3 1/2 hours and sprinkle cake with 
 pecans, marshmallows, and chocolate morsels.  Let stand 15 minutes or 
 until marshmallows are slightly melted. Spoon into dessert dishes, and 
 serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

 NOTE:
 (I heated the milk in the microwave today for about 5 minutes.  The secret 
 is to get the milk good and hot without boiling or burning it).
