Instructions

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

3. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Spread batter in the slow cooker.

4. In another bowl, mix brown sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.

5. Carefully pour hot water over the top—**do not stir**.

6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the top is set and the bottom is molten and saucy.

7. Drizzle caramel sauce over warm cake.

8. Serve spooned into bowls with vanilla ice cream and a pinch of sea salt if desired.

Notes

Don’t stir after adding water—this is what creates the gooey fudge layer!

Substitute caramel with peanut butter sauce or Nutella for variation.

Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave with extra caramel.
