Hot Fudge Cake in a Crockpot

I was so honored to be a guest on Cooking Today with Chef Brooks where I made this recipe.
Check out the episode here !!!

 

Ingredients:

1 cup AP flour

1/2 cup sugar

6 Tbsp cocoa powder (divided)

2 tsp baking powder

 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

2 Tbsp greek yogurt or applesauce

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups hot water

 

Directions:

!.)  Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray or use a liner

2.)  In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, 2 Tbsp cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

3.)  Next, stir in milk, yogurt/applesauce and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4.)  Fold in nuts (if using) and spread mixture (which will be thick) on the bottom of your crockpot.

5.)  In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, remaining 4 Tbsp cocoa powder and hot water until smooth.  Pour mixture over batter but DO NOT STIR!!!!!  The brown sugar/cocoa liquid mixture will sit on top of cake and create a pool of hot fudge hidden underneath your cake as it cooks!  Like a gooey, delicious surprise hidden all along!!!

6.)  Cover and cook on high for 2-2 1/2 hours.

*serve with fat-free vanilla yogurt, whipped cream and a cherry*
