Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 1.5 cups boiling water
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or a little butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to form a thick brownie batter. Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of the crock pot.
In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the additional cocoa powder for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of the brownie batter.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the brownie batter and topping mixture. DO NOT STIR. This step will create the hot fudge sauce as the cake bakes.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the top of the cake is set and firm to the touch but still sits atop a gooey sauce.
Turn off the crock pot and let the dessert rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the fudge sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
