How to Make Crock Pot Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

Spray a 2-3 ½ quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Add 1 cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

Pour batter evenly into the prepared slow cooker.

Gradually whisk in ½ cup boiling water until smooth and glossy.
Pour the hot fudge sauce evenly over the cake batter in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 2-2 ½ hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake stand uncovered for 30-40 minutes to cool slightly.
Spoon the warm cake into dessert dishes.
Top with additional hot fudge sauce (optional), whipped cream, and your favorite sundae toppings.
