Molten Chocolate Cake in a Slow Cooker




Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons butter
3 ounces semisweet chocolate (or 1/3 cup chocolate chips)
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup hot water


Recipe



Grease the inside of a 2.5 to 5-quart slow cooker with butter (or oil).

Mix together the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and set aside.

Melt the butter and chocolate. Using a microwave, heat for 30 seconds at a time or use a double boiler to melt chocolate. Once melted, mix well.

To the butter/chocolate mixture, add brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, milk and egg.

Add mixture to the flour and combine until well mixed.

Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker. Make sure to spread it evenly.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, 1/3 cup of cocoa and hot water. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour the mixture over the batter in the slow cooker. This is the good gooey part.

Cover and cook on high for 1 to 2 hours (if you are using a smaller cooker, the time will be closer to 2 hours).

It will be done when the cake starts to pull away from the sides. The cake should be moist, with pockets of molten chocolate (yum).

When it’s done, turn off the power and remove the lid. Let it cool for 15 minutes. Scoop out and serve it in bowls.

It is best served warm.

Serves six to eight.

Reviewed by Aveena: So I saw this recipe and thought "a cake in a slow cooker?!?" So, naturally, I had to try it out! It came out great and had the best gooey stuff right in the middle of it! The one thing I did not like about this recipe was the amount of almond extract...it was a bit too strong for me. I may not even add it next time! It is best served warm, and I should have had some nice vanilla ice cream to go with it.
