CROCK POT HOT FUDGE SUNDAE CAKE
I have such a fun recipe to share today! I previewed a photo of this Crock Pot Hot Fudge Sundae Cake on facebook a couple of days ago and I was so surprised by how many of y'all were excited for me to share this one. Have you ever made a cake in your slow cooker? Did you know you could make a cake in your slow cooker? Well, it turns out you can. And it can turn out really good too!
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SLOW COOKER CAKE:
- For this recipe, you really need a smaller (2-3 quart) slow cooker. If the slow cooker is too large or wide, the cake may cook very unevenly and you won't get a proper fudge layer to form.
- I have only tried this with whole and 2% cow's milk. I have not tried it with almond or oat milk so I can't say how those would turn out.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED:2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
¾ cup baking cocoa powder (divided use)
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
¼ cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
3 cups hot water
HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER HOT FUDGE SUNDAE CAKE:
Spray a 2-3 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. For baking, I like to use this kind that has flour in it.
In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
I don't own a flour sifter so I just took a long-tined fork and stirred it up real good.
Then stir in milk, oil and vanilla extract.
Give it all a good stir until combined, then fold in nuts (if using). Spread batter evenly into your slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder.
Stir in hot water until smooth.
Pour this mixture evenly over batter in slow cooker. DO NOT STIR.
Cover and cook on high setting for 2-2 ½ hours (it took about 2 ½ hours for mine to bake).
To test if it is done, stick a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean (with no cake batter hanging on it), then it is done. Let cake stand, uncovered for 30-40 minutes before serving.
So what happens is, on the top, you will have your cake layer. Underneath that cake layer is your fudge sauce. So slice up your cake (it's okay if it falls apart a little bit on you, this cake comes out very moist). Spoon it up on a plate or bowl. Then scoop up some of that hot fudge sauce that is on the bottom, and drizzle a bit of that on top of your cake.
I think it definitely calls for a scoop of ice cream!
Enjoy!

I use my crockpot once a week to make everything and anything- I love my crockpot or should I say crockpots
Sorry forgot email couponcraze2010 at hotmail dot com!!!
We have 4 crock pots..one can't have too many...and we use one at least once a week, especially in the winter. We make a lot of soups, roasts, stuffed peppers, anything that fits. I can't wait to try this cake...sounds yummy.
Delicious - thank you!
Have 2 slow cookers. Have made mashed potatoes in large one to take to work. This weekend I kept my Queso warm in the small one. Love my slow cookers and would love this cookbook!!

I've always liked to use my crock pot for meals. Now I need tried and true recipes for sure. Our daughter and 3 granddaughters have move in with us and I work 10 to 12 hours a day. They are picky eaters and I hate having to ask my husband for help with the cooking. It would be great knowing that I can throw it all in a crock pot and come home to a homecooked meal. capsey@eaglecom.net
I just made ham and bean soup yesterday in mine, no stirring, no worrying about it overcooking or undercooking, and it was delicious! I have a large oval one and a 4.5 qt one, so I can have two going at once if I want to.... thanks for the recipes. And O-H...
I use my crock pot several times a week. I would love this cookbook so that I can have some simple but yummy recipes for crock pot use. I have a big 5 or 6 quart oval crock pot and just love it. I'm also following Gooseberry Patch on Facebook. My email address is RoosterFarm@msn.com

I don't use my crock pot nearly enough! I love it because it makes things easier and less time consuming. I just don't know enough recipes or how it really converts from time in the oven.

I love my crock pot. I use it at least once a week and would use it more if I could find more recipes the kids would eat
I love using my crock pot when I do use it which isn't nearly often enough. I always tell myself I want to use it more. Just need to find some easy recipes to try in it!!

I use my crock pot every week or two. It is very convenient for those buy nights or when I am away from home most of the day.
I am a fan of Gooseberry Patch on Facebook.
Hi Brandie! Thanks to you and Gooseberry Patch for this giveaway! I love to use my crock-pot, but I don't have very many recipes for it. I probably only use it about once a month. I would love more crock-pot recipes so I could use it at least once a week! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama! randycofield@bellsouth.net
I do own a slow cooker(Crock Pot), but I don't use it often. I need to get more recipes so I can use it more. I do love cooking in it because it is so easy.
