Crockpot Chocolate Lava Melting Cake

For our honeymoon, Jeff and I went on a week-long cruise to Mexico, and Jeff ate this dessert (no joke) every single night while we were on the ship (plus a few other desserts). I was really excited to find this online, and that it was SO easy! Enjoy.

FOR THE CAKE:

2 cups Brown Sugar

2 cups All-purpose Flour

6 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

4 teaspoons Baking Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

1 cup Milk

4 Tablespoons Butter, melted

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

FOR THE FUDGE TOPPING:

1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar

1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

3 cups Boiling Water

Directions:   For the cake: Mix together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in milk, melted butter and vanilla until combined. Spread the batter over the bottom of a large crockpot.

For the fudge topping:  Mix together the brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle mixture over the cake batter.

Pour the boiling water over the top. DO NOT STIR! Cover and cook on High for 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

Cake will be very hot! Turn off heat, and remove lid. Let sit 20-30 minutes before serving, so its still warm but wont burn your mouth : )  ENJOY!!
