Recipe of the Week: Slow Cooker Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
There's nothing like a fresh, warm piece of cake or cobbler to satisfy your hunger on a cold winter's day. I was digging through my cookbooks and internet files for the perfect wintery dessert when I ran across this Hot Fudge Sundae cake from Betty Crocker. The name of the dessert alone made me hungry and the picture was simply mouth watering. And the actual prep time is only 15 minutes! (plus baking time of course) I just had to share this one with you!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 1/2 cups hot water
1. Spray inside of 2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons 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.
2. Mix brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa in small bowl. Stir in hot water until smooth. Pour evenly over batter in slow cooker.
3. Cover and cook on high heat setting 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
4. 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.
Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

Oh, I just really want to bit into that. One of my new year's resolutions, along with millions, is to attempt to lose some weight. Not that it will stop me from baking delicious treats. ;)
