Crock Pot Hot Fudge Cake

Or slow cooker, whatever you call that pot you plug in and it cooks all day. I grew up with crock pot, somehow that's been changed to slow cooker. This is an easy, quick little recipe for a tasty dessert that you'll want to eat with friends when it's fresh and hot, it doesn't taste so great the next day. I believe the only reason we had leftovers is that my family is full of freaks, they said it was TOO CHOCOLATY. Whatever. I have never heard such blasphemous words spoken in the face of dessert, too chocolaty.

Crock Pot Hot Fudge Cake

cake ingredients

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups flour

6 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

4 TBSP butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

hot fudge topping ingredients

1  cup brown sugar

2 1 ounce squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped

3 cups boiling water 

For the cake: mix the dry ingredients with a whisk in a mix bowl
mix the wet ingredients together and add to the dry
mix well and pour/scoop into the cooking crock
For the hot fudge topping:sprinkle the sugar over the cake batter
sprinkle on the  unsweetened chocolate pour the boiling water over
do not stir
cover and bake 2-2 1/2 hours on high
let it cool for at least 1/2 an hour
to serve scoop it out and turn in up side down on a plate covering the cake with the sauce

This is a super sweet dessert but since we haven't had any baked goods all week I thought it would be a nice treat. I certainly don't recommend such sugary treats as ever day foods, but as a special treat sure! I can see whipping this up for a girls night in sort of party, the ladies I know would never dream of uttering the phrase "too chocolaty" and this would be a hit.
