Slow Cooker Thursday


Sandra of Diary of a SAHM has started this Thursday recipe exchange for slow cookers ... yay!

I love slow cooker recipes so this will be another great recipe exchange to participate in. I have the Better Home and Gardens' Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes so I should have plenty of recipes to contribute!

My first recipe is a yummy dessert described as, "This pudding cake is a dessert lover's dream. Warm chocolate-peanut butter pudding develops under the cake layer as it bakes. Spooned over ice cream, it's the best!"

Peanutty Chocolate Pudding Cake
1 C all-purpose flour
1/2 C sugar
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 Tsp baking powder
1/2 C milk
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 Tsp vanilla
3/4 C peanut-butter-flavored pieces
3/4 C sugar
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
2 C boiling water
1/2 C chunky peanut butter
2 Tbsp chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
Vanilla ice cream (optional)

1. In bowl stir together flour, the 1/2 C sugar, the 2 Tbsp cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla; stir until batter is smooth. Stir in the peanut butter pieces. Spread batter evenly in the bottom of a greased slow cooker.

2. In a bowl combine the 3/4 C sugar and the 1/4 C cocoa powder. Stir together boiling water and peanut buter; stir into the cocoa mixture. Pour evenly over the batter in the cooker.

3. Cover; cook on high-heat setting for 2-2 1/2 hrs or until a toothpick inserted 1 inch into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let stand, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes to cool slightly.

4. To serve, spoon pudding cake into dessert dishes. Sprinkle with peanuts. If desired, serve with ice cream.

I should have worn a bib when I started checking all these recipes today, I'm practically drooling all over the place LOL

Thank you for sharing, I've already added the recipe to my folder and will be trying it next week :)

I'm an odd duck, I don't like peanut butter. I will eat Peanut butter sandwhiches with Jelly. And I will eat Reeces on occassion but I don't like peanut butter. Go figure!
Now this slow cooker thursday thing sounds like lots of fun!! I'll get a handy dandy notebook to write some of the recipes.
~I've been reading, just been so busy to post! Big hugs!!

yummy! have you made this Michelle? It sounds so good!!! I love to use my slow cooker too. I wonder is a slow cooker the same thing as a crock pot??? A roast taste so much better in a slow cooker than in a crock pot...lol

I love baking cake in my crock pot. This one looks wonderful. I'm going to try it.

I just clicked over from Frog and Toad and found this recipe - and jumped up and tried it right away! Except I didn't have any peanut butter chips, so I used regular chocolate chips (for an inferior result, I expect, but we'll see in about three hours or so!).

I've never used a blog-recipe before, so this is a first for me!
