How to Make Hot Fudge Cake Crock Pot

  1. Preheat your slow cooker.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir in 1 cup milk, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Place 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate baking squares (chopped) evenly on the bottom of your greased 1.5-3 quart slow cooker.
  5. Pour the batter from step 2 over the chocolate in the slow cooker.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix together ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar/cocoa mixture from step 6 over the batter in the slow cooker.
  8. Add ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended, optional).
  9. Carefully pour 1 cup boiling water over the top of the mixture. Do not stir.
  10. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker.
  11. Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence!
  12. Yields approximately 6-8 servings.
