Crock Pot Chocolate Cake

ok im still tinkering with this one it came out alright hubby and the lil one ate it all up so thought id share. The batter will be a bugger to spread along the bottom of the crock pot just to give a bit of warning it will seem really dry. but the hot water poured over it before starting to cook helps.

1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
2 taablespoons of cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

For "sauce" 1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 3/4 cup hot water

Directions:

1. melt butter

2. sift the 1 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, flour baking powder, and salt into a large bowl

3.  whisk in the milk, melted butter and vanilla

4. spread this batter evenly over the bottom of the crock pot-it will be a thin layer but that  is ok if it rises up.

5. mix together the "extra cocoa powder and the brown sugar, sprinkl this ontop of the batter

6. pour the hot water over the top ***DO NOT STIR***

7. cook on high for 2 hours (needs to be on high heat to work) Ceck it at about  1 1/2 hours if your slow cooker runs hot

8. to check if cooked do the toothpick/skewer test poking it into the middle  of the cake about an inch down and if it comes out clean its done.

Scoop out with a spoon and be sure to get some of the sticky sauce on the bottom.
