Serves 8
1 2/3 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/4 cup water (I probably used 1/2 cup)
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (I left these out)
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped (I used 3 tbsp cocoa and 1 tbsp oil in place of this)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1. In large bowl combine flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; mix well. In small bowl, combine egg with 1/4 cup water, peanut butter, 2 tbsp melted butter, and vanilla; mix well.
2. Stir peanut butter mixture into flour mixture until combined. Add chocolate chips and pecans. Spray a 3 quart slow cooker with nonstick baking spray containing flour. Add batter to slow cooker.
3. In small saucepan, combine ice cream topping, brown sugar, 3/4 cup water, and baking chocolate; cook and stir over medium heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and pour over batter.
4. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Turn off slow cooker, place lid ajar, and let stand for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Review:
Chocolate lovers rejoice! If you love chocolate like I do, you’ll love this cake. Some people say to me “oh this or that is too rich for me.” You won’t ever hear me say that. I have a very high tolerance for chocolate. I was surprised that I couldn’t really even tell that there was peanut butter in this dessert. There was just a slight hint of it. Ice cream is a must to serve with this. This is just as good as this caramel chocolate dessert I tried last week, maybe even better. 5 stars.
happy bday! you are great! thanks for doing all you do!
all the way from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada!
Hooray. Happy Birthday! And happy day eating this cake!
Happy Birthday, Karen! I’m glad you got to enjoy some good chocolate dessert!
