I can't believe this came from a crockpot! I was skeptical, but glad I tried it. We were having guests over for supper and had never tried it, so I was risking a dessert disaster... but it turned out really good! I cut the recipe in half and still had plenty for 4.5 adults and 2 kids. It's really fun to watch the cake puff up in the crockpot, and then to slice into it and have the oozy 'lava' come gushing out of the center. Each person gets a nice slice, and then you scoop the gooey, yummy lava over the top. The flavor is very tasty-- not the 'chocolatey-ist' chocolate cake I've ever eaten, but still very delicious. The novelty and fun of the recipe is what makes this one a keeper. We will be making it again!
Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake
FOR THE CAKE:
- 2 cups Brown Sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 6 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
FOR THE FUDGE TOPPING:
- 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 3 cups Boiling Water
Directions: For the cake: Mix together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in milk, melted butter and vanilla until combined. Spread the batter over the bottom of a large crockpot.
For the fudge topping: Mix together the brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle mixture over the cake batter.
Pour the boiling water over the top. DO NOT STIR! Cover and cook on High for 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
Cake will be very hot! Turn off heat, and remove lid. Let sit 20-30 minutes before serving, so its still warm but wont burn your mouth : ) ENJOY!!
