The following recipes are really easy to make and if you are wondering what you can make in the slow cooker apart from stews and soups, why not make a crockpot cake? Whether you prefer chocolate or fruit cakes, these recipes are simple to follow and the results will be great.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pudding Cake
This rich and gooey crockpot cake is guaranteed to thrill the family. The chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and chocolate milk give it plenty of richness and the peanuts, vanilla and peanut butter pieces are really nice too. The cake sets on the bottom and a sauce forms on top. This is a great dessert to serve with ice cream.
What you will need:
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup plus 3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk or chocolate milk
1/2 cup peanut butter-flavored pieces
How to make it:
Coat a four quart crockpot with cooking spray. Stir the flour with a third of a cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and half the cocoa powder. Add the oil, vanilla extract and milk or chocolate milk and stir. Stir in the chocolate, peanut butter pieces, and nuts, and then spread the batter over the bottom of the crockpot.
Combine the remaining sugar with the remaining cocoa powder, and then stir in the boiling water gradually. Pour this mixture over the batter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook for two or two and a half hours on high or until a wooden toothpick inserted an inch deep into the middle of the dessert comes out clean.
Turn off the crockpot or remove the liner from the machine. Let it stand for forty minutes, uncovered, then spoon the warm cake into dessert dishes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
