Coconut cake - in my crock pot? It's more likely than you think

[flummoxicated]

I found a recipe for coconut cake for a crock pot over in what_a_crock  the other day. Here is the original recipe and here is how I altered it to cut some of the fat:

Coconut Crockpot Cake!

Combine:
-4 eggs (egg beaters)
-3/4 cup fat free sour cream
-1/2 cup veg oil
-1 cup water
-1 package Jello coconut cream pudding mix

Mix this all together until well blended and then add:

-1 box Coconut cake mix
-1 big handful sweetened shredded coconut (about a cup)

Mix to combine and then pour the mixture into a VERY well greased slow cooker

Cook on low for about two hours - there should be a bit of browning visible around the edges.

The cake will be set around the sides but still rather gooey in the middle - kind of like a lava cake.

If you like coconut, give it a try. I think next time I'm called upon to provide a dessert for a potluck, I'll bring this.

When I am not feeling lazy, I will try Alton Brown's recipe for coconut cake, which is more labor intensive, but does not use boxed stuff.
