Hot Fudge Cake

Yes it's true, you can have amazing desserts that you prep after work, and will be ready for you after supper!  Slow cooking brings convenience to desserts as well.  Because the ingredients are usually always at hand, I make this dessert frequently, and the kids love it!  It comes out as a moist soufflé with rich fudgy pudding under it.  Very rich, very moist, and very good!

This works in either a small slow cooker, or a medium one. 

Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping
1/4 cup cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup boiling water

Spray the slow cooker pot with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.  Add the milk, melted butter and vanilla and stir until well mixed into a smooth batter.  It will be thick.  Spread evenly in the cooker.

To make the topping, whisk together all ingredients in the medium bowl until smooth.  GENTLY pour over the batter, and DO NOT stir it in.  Just let it sit on top. 

Cover and cook on HIGH until puffed and the top layer is set.  About 2 hours.  Serves 4.
