Hot Fudge Spoon Cake

By mamacasma

This slow-cooker chocolate cake is meant to be so soft and gooey that you have to eat it with a spoon--just like you would a hot fudge sundae. Heavenly!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cup br3own sugar, packed and divided
• 1/4 cup plus 3 Tablespoons baking cocoa, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups hot water
• Optional: vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, one cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in milk, butter and vanilla. Spread evenly in a slow cooker. Mix together remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle evenly over top of batter. Pour in hot water; do not stir. Cover and cook on high setting for 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted one inch deep comes out clean. Spoon warm cake into bowls; top with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
