Double Chocolate-Orange Pudding Cake

From The Best Slow Cooker Cookbook Ever

 

Filled with old-fashioned goodness, this dessert works well in a slow

cooker. Orange zest and chocolate chips give it extra pizzazz.

 

 

Makes 4 To 6 SERVINGS

 

 

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

 

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 2/3 cups hot water

Whipped cream or chocolate ice cream

 

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons

of the cocoa, the baking powder, and the salt until well blended. Stir in

the milk, butter, orange zest, and chocolate chips and mix well. Turn the

batter into a 3 1/2-quart electric slow cooker.

 

 

2. In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa

until well blended. Sprinkle over the batter. Gently pour the water evenly

over all; do not stir.

 

 

3. Cover and cook on the high heat setting about 1 1/4 to 2 hours, or until

a tester inserted in the cake portion of the dessert comes out clean. (Do

not cook on the low heat setting for a longer time.) Serve warm or at room

temperature, topped with whipped cream.

 

Happy Cooking!
