Day 130: Peanutty Chocolate Pudding Cake

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter flavored pieces
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (I used creamy)
2 tbsp chopped peanuts
Vanilla ice cream

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

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

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

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

Review:

Good. Not as good as the title makes it sound though.

This is the 5th pudding cake-ish thing that I have tried so far. I feel like I need to put them in order of tastiness for you.

5. Peanut Butter and Hot Fudge Cake (It sounds good but it just wasn’t as great as I would have liked…just okay. I don’t really recommend it. There are way better desserts to try)

4. Today’s post…the peanutty chocolate pudding cake (probably a 3 star dessert)

3. Hot Fudge Cake (this one is for chocolate lovers…really rich and yummy)

2. Brownie Fudge Cake (just excellent in every sort of way)

and #1. Caramel Choclate Cake (I don’t what it was about this one but I loved it and will definitely be using this recipe in the future)
