Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Hot water
Instructions
Grease the inside of a 4-quart crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter evenly into the prepared crock pot.
In a separate bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the crock pot.
Carefully pour the hot water over the top. Do not stir; the water will create a sauce as the cake cooks.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the center of the cake is set but still gooey.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the mud cake cool for 10 minutes.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat!
