Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Hot water
Instructions
Spray the inside of a 6-quart crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared crock pot, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and additional cocoa powder (2 tablespoons if omitted from the above list). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the crock pot.
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface without stirring. The water will sit on top of the batter, creating a gooey sauce as it cooks.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2 hours, or until the cake puffs up and the top looks set with a pudding-like texture underneath.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the cake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Scoop the cake onto plates or bowls, making sure to spoon some of the molten chocolate sauce from the bottom over each portion. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
