Crockpot Cake
Perfect for when that cake craving hits but it’s too hot to turn on an oven, or you don’t have one! Moist, chocolatey and delicious, this easy chocolate slow cooker cake will surely become a regular recipe in your book!
Equipment
- Crockpot With Removable Crock Insert
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil and vanilla. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until mixed. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour cake batter into the crock pot and smooth out the top. Place a dishtowel over the crockpot, held in place by the crock pot lid. This helps to keep moisture from building up on the surface of the cake.
- Cook at high power for 1.5 hours or until set.
- Spoon servings out of the crockpot and top with things like hot fudge, chocolate syrup and ice cream, or dust with powdered sugar, whipped cream and berries!
Notes
If you want to be able to neatly remove the cake from the slow cooker, you will need to line it with parchment paper.
Remove the slow cooker insert from the heated portion of the crockpot once the cake is done cooking or it will continue to cook (carry over cooking) even after you have turned off the heat or the edges of the cake will likely burn.
Storage - If you have leftovers, scoop the remaining cake out of the crockpot and store the rest in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2-3 days. You can also store it in the fridge for about a week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
