Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.75 cup boiling water
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Grease the inside of your crock pot with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will become thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter into the greased crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Turn off the crock pot and remove the lid. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cake.
Replace the lid and let the residual heat melt the toppings for about 5-10 minutes.
Once the toppings are melted and slightly gooey, uncover and let the cake cool slightly before serving.
Scoop the cake directly from the crock pot and serve warm. Optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
