Slow Cooker Hot Fudge Cake (Chocolate Lava)

10-24-2010, 10:05 PM

I got this recipe from a friend the other day, and tried it and MUST share it! Very easy, and has the guests thinking you spent hours preparing such a decadent dessert. Fabulous served with vanilla ice cream or raspberry sherbet.

10 minutes to prep, 1 3/4 hrs to cook, Serves 4-8

1 3/4 C brown sugar, divided
1 C flour
3 Tbsp plus 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, divided
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C milk
2 Tspn butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 C boiling water

1. In a bowl mix together 1 C brown sugar, flour, 3 tsp cocoa, baking powder and salt.
2. Stir in milk, butter and vanilla.
3. Pour into slow cooker greased with butter.
4. In a separate bowl mix together 3/4 C brown sugar and 1/4 C cocoa. Sprinkle over batter in the slow cooker. Do not stir.
5. Pour boiling water over mixture. Do not stir.
6. Cover, Cook on high 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours or until toothpick comes out clean. Watch that the top doesn't burn.

My friend advised:
When I first made this I thought the bottom wasn't cooked. Then I realized that it was the fudge. It's like an upside down cake - the top is the cake and the bottom is the fudge. When you scoop out the pieces turn them over so the fudge is on top.

Enjoy!

You read my mind! Just yesterday I was hunting around for a recipe for this very thing! I'm going to try this soon.

Gah!

I'm out of baking powder and Cream of Tartar (for subsituting when I run out of baking powder

).

That sounds yummy and I'm glad to see there are no eggs so I can eat it.

SFK, I've got some friends asking me for the recipe. May I post it in my FB notes section and give you credit?

Those thinking of using almond meal, do you think it would be a good idea to add a couple of eggs to hold it all together? I would love to make this!
