Now every time I am having company over for dinner that are bringing kids along, I make them this rocky road cake. With the melted chocolate, gooey marshmallows and crunch of the almonds, it cannot disappoint!
Check out what our friends over at Farm Wife Cooks had to say about this dish:
“This cake isn’t your traditional cut and serve cake it is actually a dessert that you spoon into a bowl, hence the name spoon cake! The cake will bake up and then there is a pudding like layer at the bottom, be sure to get to the bottom when serving! So good!”
I don’t care if it is not a traditional cake, it is made in the crock pot and spooned out. That is SO much better than a regular ol’ rocky road cake!
