  • Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour (I used Pamela's Baking Mix)1 cup sugar (divided. this is important, don't just start dumping, read on!)1 teaspoon baking powder (even though Pamela's has baking powder in it, I used this amount)1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (unless you're a rebel. then use chunky)1/2 cup milk (I used fat free cow's. to keep it light. HA!)1 tablespoon canola oil1 teaspoon vanilla extract3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder1 cup boiling water
Directions
Servings 8

Use a 4-quart slow cooker coated well with cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt.
In the microwave, melt peanut butter for about 30 seconds, and then add to the mix along with milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir really well to combine.
Spread this mixture into the bottom of your slow cooker.

In a separate bowl, mix together cocoa powder, the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 cup boiling water (be careful!) Pour this evenly over the peanut butter batter in your cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours, or until the top has set and an inserted toothpick (into the cake--underneath the cake is molten chocolate) comes out clean. Let the cake sit uncovered in an unplugged crockpot for about 20 minutes, then serve warm in dessert bowls.

    Fantastic. Think I had a double portion.....! I used slightly less sugar and it was still very sweet. Will cut it down further next time! And divide it up 8 to portions before eating any! - 1/26/19
