How to Make + Notes:
- First, make your batter. Spread it into the bottom of a greased slow cooker pot.
- Then, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the fudge top and pour it on top of the chocolate chips. Very important: DO NOT MIX it!
- Cover your slow cooker and cook on high.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 2-3 days.
- All slow cookers are not created equal. Your cooking time may differ, depending on your slow cooker size/brand. Your cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
This cake is fudgy and rich! Some topping ideas: Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or whipped topping pair with it nicely.

Made this for Super Bowl night. Very easy and came out tasty. Used a 3 quart crockpot. May make for next Christmas with crushed candy canes/peppermint candy as a topping before adding the ice cream or whip cream.
