I love chocolate. Perhaps that’s why this decadent slow-cooker cake has long been a family favorite. Sometimes I serve it warm, with vanilla ice cream; the cake can also be served cold.
Prep Time: 15 min.
Cook Time: 2 hours + standing
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-1/4 cup hot water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons baking cocoa, divided
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
Step 2: Spread into a 3-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and the remaining brown sugar and cocoa; stir in hot water. Pour over batter (do not stir).
Step 3: Cook, covered, on high for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out clean. Turn off the slow cooker; let stand 15 minutes before serving.
