Perfect for special occasions or just a sweet mid-week treat, this cake will quickly become a favorite among family and friends. The slow cooker ensures a moist, rich texture that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/2 cup (110g) of butter. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup (150g) of self-raising flour and 1/3 cup (50g) of dry cocoa powder. Add 1 cup (200g) of sugar and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs (150g), 3/4 cup (180g) of milk, and 1 tsp (4g) of vanilla extract. Stir in the slightly cooled melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Set the slow cooker to its low setting. Cover and cook for about 2 to 3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker. Allow the cake to cool slightly in the slow cooker before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate ganache for an extra decadent treat.
Tips:
- Ensure you sift the self-raising flour and cocoa powder to avoid lumps and ensure a smoother batter.
- For an extra moist cake, consider adding a tablespoon of sour cream to the batter.
- Line your slow cooker with parchment paper or use a slow cooker liner for easy removal and clean-up.
- Check the cake for doneness around the 2-hour mark but be careful not to lift the lid too often as it could disrupt the cooking process.
- For a richer flavor, opt for high-quality cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
- Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes in the slow cooker before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once you taste this Best-ever Slow Cooker Chocolate Cake, you'll appreciate the convenience of using a slow cooker to create a bakery-quality dessert. Its rich chocolate flavor and moist texture make it an irresistible treat. Don't be surprised if this recipe becomes a staple in your dessert repertoire. Enjoy your delightful homemade creation!
