Delicious and Easy Recipe...

On a whim, Zoe and I tried this Slow Cooker Hot Fudge Cake... it was super easy and super delicious.  I used Hershey's Dark Chocolate cocoa powder. We served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

1 c all-purpose flour

1/2 c granulated sugar

2 T baking cocoa

2 t baking powder

1/2 t salt

1/2 c milk

2 T vegetable oil

1 t vanilla

1/2 c chopped nuts

3/4 c packed brown sugar

1/4 c baking cocoa

1 1/2 c hot water

Directions

Spray inside of 2 to 3 1/2 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix flour, granulated sugar, 2 T cocoa, the baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Stir in milk, oil and vanilla until smooth. Stir in nuts. Spread batter evenly in slow cooker. Mix brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa in small bowl. Stir in hot water until smooth. Pour evenly over batter in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat setting 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Turn off slow cooker. Let cake stand uncovered 30 to 40 minutes to cool slightly before serving. Spoon warm cake into dessert dishes. Spoon sauce over top.
