Slow Cooker Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake
Even if your oven is unoccupied, it’s fun to experiment with cakes and breads in the slow cooker. Slow cookers are useful for more than just soups and typical dinners. We made slow cooker banana bread that was pretty darn tasty. Since then, we want to explore more dessert options in the Crockpot.
Chocolate peanut butter cake in the slow cooker is easy to make but must be watched. Each slow cooker is so different that you need to make sure it doesn’t burn. Keep a close eye on it the first time you make it to get to know the correct timing for this cake in your Crockpot.
The center of the cake won’t be set, but that is okay. There’s no egg or anything in the recipe to harm people if it’s at all undercooked or raw.
This cake is crumbly but moist and has a delicious rich flavor. There’s some crunch with the peanuts from the peanut butter. Try serving warm topped with some vanilla ice cream for the best indulgent experience.
Make this your next date night dessert. Since it feeds 8-10 people, save it for your next game night, Valentine’s day gathering, New Year’s Eve party, or whenever the mood strikes.
