MOLTEN MOCHA CAKE
When I first made my decadent slow-cooker chocolate cake, my husband's and daughter's expressions said it all. She says it's one of her favorites. Later, I brought one of these to our next-door neighbors. Their teenage son, who answered the door, ate the whole thing without telling anyone else about it! -Aimee Fortney, Fairview, Tennessee

Steps:
- For the Cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined; set aside. Combine the sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a separate large bowl, and whisk until combined and smooth. Combine the milk and coffee in a small bowl. Add 1/3 of the milk mixture into the sugar/egg mixture and whisk until just incorporated. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, and whisk until smooth. Continue with the remaining milk and flour mixture, alternating between each and whisking until all the ingredients are just incorporated and smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans. Put the pans on a baking sheet. Bake, rotating the baking sheet 180 degrees halfway through, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them rest, in the pans, on a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans, and cool completely before proceeding.
- For the Pudding: Combine the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk to evenly combine. Whisk in the milk and vanilla until completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks until combined.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and bubbles, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until completely thickened, about 1 minute more.
- Remove from the heat and immediately add the chocolate and the butter, and stir until melted and evenly combined. Put plastic wrap directly on surface of the pudding and chill at least 1 1/2 hours.
- To assemble: Arrange 1 of the cakes on a flat cake plate and top with 1/3 of the pudding, spreading evenly and almost to the edges. Top with second cake then use the remaining pudding to frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Press the cookie crumbs into the sides and top of the cake. Pick up any fallen crumbs and apply them, pressing gently to cover the cake completely. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
- For the Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl, add the cream and whisk until soft peaks form. Add the rum and continue to whisk until stiff and the cream sticks to the whisk. Serve the whipped cream on the side.

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- For the topping: Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a pastry brush to brush the sides of the pie plate with butter. Sprinkle the butter with the brown sugar. Use clean hands to cover the base and sides of the pie plate with the butter sugar mixture. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on the base of the pie plate. Cut the remaining 3 rings in half and place them in the openings on the sides of the pie plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and in the empty spaces between the pineapple rings. Place the pie plate in the fridge while you make the batter.
- For the cake: Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps of flour and to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding another. When the eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla and orange zest and mix until combined.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the mixer, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the chilled pie plate. Place the pie plate on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake until the juices are bubbling and the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the cake and carefully flip the cake over, inverting it onto the plate. Cool the cake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

MOCHA CAKE III
A friend made this for our group and we have been hooked on it ever since. Try it. It's so rich, moist, and easy, you'll be hooked too! Note: I have replaced the sour cream with 16 ounces of plain yogurt, (not fat-free!), with great success. The taste is just as good to me with a lot less fat. However, do not use low-fat or fat-free sour cream, as it will NOT turn out well!
