Crockpot: Brownie Cake Gooey

Crockpot Dessert

Cooking Method:

Crockpot

* 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing insert
* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* Salt to taste
* 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
* Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Prep Time:

10 minutes

Cook Time:

3 hours

Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing insert
* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* Salt to taste
* 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
* Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions:

1. Line the insert of a 4- or 6-quart slow cooker with a large piece of foil, then generously butter the foil.
2. Whisk together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, flour, eggs, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
3. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
4. Scrape the batter out into the prepared insert in an even layer.
5. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours; the cake should be set around the edges and gooey in the center.
6. Serve the cake warm, scooped into a bowl and topped with ice cream.

Notes:

This easy-to-make cake has the best parts of a soft, warm brownie: gooey on the inside and slightly crisp around the edges.
