As many people know I am not a big chocolate fan, but when I found a recipe for a slow cooker chocolate cake, I had to try it! Let me tell you, it is delicious!! I ate mine with a scoop of ice cream and it was so good! I thought I would share the recipe with everyone especially all the females out there!!

Slow-Cooker Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

1 3/4 cups flour

34 cup cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1//2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

1 cup boiling water

Directions:

1. Spray crock of a large slow cooker with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla and almond until well combined.
Whisk in the boiling water**. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well.

3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker.

4. Set slow cooker to "Low". Cook until cake has no wet spots on top and has pulled away from the sides of the crock, about 3 hours. Turn off slow cooker and allow cake to rest for 30 minutes before serving.

** I used my stand mixer for all of it. I felt like with the mixer it reduced my risk of making "scrambled eggs" with the boiling water. **
