Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 1.5 cups Hot water
- 1 quart Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of a 4 to 6-quart crock pot with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared crock pot.
In a small bowl, stir together the 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 the fudge sauce as it cooks.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on High for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. The cake should be set on top but still gooey underneath.
Turn off the crock pot and let the dessert sit for 5 to 10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
Scoop portions of the cake into bowls, ensuring to include some of the hot fudge sauce from the bottom of the crock pot.
Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
