How to Make Upside Down Chocolate Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat your slow cooker.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (2 1/4 cups) Bisquick mix, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
  3. Grease your slow cooker (6-quart recommended). Pour the batter evenly into the prepared slow cooker.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup boiling water until the sugar and cocoa are completely dissolved.
  5. Carefully pour the chocolate sauce over the batter in the slow cooker. Do not stir.
  6. Cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Do not overcook.
  7. Let the cake cool slightly in the slow cooker before inverting it onto a serving plate. The cake will have risen to the top, creating a layer of cake over a rich chocolate pudding.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream.
