I absolutely LOVE slow cooker desserts, and pudding cake is one of the best. It separates during baking, forming a custardy sauce on the bottom and a sponge layer cake on top. Serve it right out of the cooker; it's good warm, room temp, or chilled. Read more . If you can't find the ground chocolate, use cocoa powder. If all you have is unsweetened cocoa, increase the sugar to 2/3 cup. Note the short cooking time! This isn't a let it go all day dish. Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sweet ground chocolate, like ghirardelli |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 1/2 tsp baking powder |
1/4 tsp salt |

1/4 cup (half stick) unsalted butter, melted |
1 tsp vanilla extract |
topping |
1/4 cup sweet cocoa powder, such as ghirardelli |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups boiling water |
vanilla or coffee ice cream (or frozen yogurt) for serving |
Directions:
1. Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ground chocolate, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Make a well in the center, add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
4. Stir the liquid ingredients until well-blended, and continue stirring in widening circles, incorporating the dry ingredients, until you have a thick, smooth batter.
5. Spread evenly in the slow cooker.
6. To make the topping, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
7. Gently pour over the batter in the cooker, do not stir.
8. Cover and cook on HIGH until puffed and the top layer is set, 2 to 2 1/4 hours.
