The kids and I made this delicious dessert over the holidays. It turns out to be cakey on top with a layer of warm saucy chocolate on the bottom. Yum, it reaches all level of chocolate satisfaction. We did not wait for the recommended cooling time.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons butter
2 ounces semisweet chocolate or 2 ounces chocolate chips
1 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder, plus
1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg yolk
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water
whipped cream or ice cream

Steps:

  • Coat the inside of a 2 ½ quart to 5 quart slow cooker or crock pot with cooking spray. (Note: the cake's cooking time and final appearance will vary depending on your crock's size.)
  • Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water and mix well.
  • Whisk in the 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, vanilla, salt, milk, and egg yolk.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed.
  • Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, cocoa and hot water until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture over the batter in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on high for 1 ¼ to 2 ¼ hours, depending on size of the crock pot.
  • Even when done, the cake will be very moist and floating on a layer of molten chocolate, but you will know it is ready when nearly all of the cake is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pot.
  • (As you check, try not to let the condensed steam from the lid, drip on the cake.) When it is done, turn off the power and remove the lid.
  • Let it cool for 25 minutes, then serve it in bowls topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think next time I'll try adding a little bit of baking powder to the batter to make it lighter.

This was my first time making a crock-pot cake and I was really impressed with how it turned out. It was so simple to make and the cake was so moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this cake several times now and it always turns out great. It's so moist and chocolatey, and the crock-pot makes it so easy to cook. I usually add a little bit of instant coffee powder to the batter for extra flavor.

This crock-pot chocolate mud cake was so easy to make and it turned out so moist and delicious! I used a gluten-free flour blend and it worked perfectly. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.
