In another bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar and cocoa; stir in boiling water.

SLOW COOKER HOT FUDGE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 6-quart slow cooker with a liner if using one. I prefer to use liners for easy cleanup and storage, see step 8. Spray liner or base and sides of slow cooker with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a medium bowl, add the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and whisk to combine.
• Add the milk, oil, vanilla, and stir until just moistened.
• Turn batter out into prepared slow cooker and spread it into a smooth, even, flat layer.
• Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips; set aside.
• To a medium bowl (the same one you already used is fine, just wipe it clean with a paper towel), add 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, the boiling water, and whisk to combine.
• Carefully pour the hot cocoa-water mixture over the batter in slow cooker. Do not stir. This mixture turns into hot fudge while the cake bakes; do not stir.
• Cover and cook on high for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Start checking at just over one hour to ensure you don't overbake (no raw egg issues to worry about). My cake was done at 90 minutes. All slow cookers vary so cook until cake is done.
• Remove the top portion of the slow cooker (the ceramic bowl the cake is cooking in) from the base (heating element) to allow cake to cool momentarily before serving. I recommend serving with ice cream and/or whipped topping or whipped cream.

SLOW COOKER HOT FUDGE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• To a medium bowl, add all of the batter ingredients (flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, milk, butter, and vanilla extract). Whisk together until blended and smooth. Using a spatula, spread batter in the bottom of a Crock Pot.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry layer (granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder). Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
• Slowly pour the hot water over the top.
• Cook on high until cake has puffed up and it springs back when you poke it with your finger, 3 to 4 hours.
• Use a spoon to scoop cake and sauce onto dessert plates along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve.

SLOW-COOKER CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

• In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and 2 cups milk with whisk as directed on box. Pour into slow cooker over cake batter. Do not mix. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top.

SLOW COOKER HOT CHOCOLATE FONDANT CAKE

Steps:

• Butter the base and sides of the bowl of a slow cooker. Beat the butter and both sugars together in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then fold in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, espresso, a pinch of salt and the chocolate. Add just enough milk so the batter falls off the spatula in big dollops. Spoon into the prepared slow cooker.
• Mix the sauce ingredients together in a heatproof bowl with 300ml boiling water, then carefully pour this over the batter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hrs or high for 3 hrs until the cake springs back when pressed, and is well-risen. Serve with crème fraîche, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

CHOCOLATE MACAROON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
• To Make Filling: Beat egg white with 1 teaspoon vanilla until soft mounds form. Add 1/2 cup sugar gradually, beating until stiff peaks form. Stir in coconut and 1 tablespoon flour. Set filling aside.
• Dissolve the cocoa in the hot coffee. Separate the three eggs, setting the yolks aside. Beat the egg whites until soft mounds form. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar until meringue stands in medium-stiff peaks.
• Combine the sour cream and the baking soda. Beat remaining 1 1/4 cups of the sugar, shortening, egg yolks, salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 of the of the cocoa mixture until light and creamy, about 4 minutes. Stir in 2 cups flour, the sour cream mixture, and the remaining cocoa mixture; blend well.
• Fold about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it; gently fold in remaining egg whites.
• Turn 1/2 of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Place 1/2 of the coconut mixture on top. Cover with the remaining chocolate batter, then the remaining coconut mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan and icing.
• To Make Icing: Combine 2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder; transfer to a saucepan. Add butter, corn syrup, and milk. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, and let boil for 1 minute. Do not overcook! Remove from heat, let cool, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat icing until it is at a soft, spreading consistency; glaze cake.
