Crockpots are an easy way to whip up a lava cake without having to time a lava cake hot from the oven. Even as leftovers this cake still had it’s lava flow. My husband still prefers the individual portion old fashion baked in the oven method, but this was still good enough to pass without the fuss.

1
cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

powder and salt in medium bowl.

cocoa in small bowl. Stir in hot water until smooth. Pour evenly over batter in

slow cooker. Let cake stand uncovered 30 to 40 minutes to cool slightly before
serving. Spoon warm cake into dessert dishes. Spoon sauce over top. Note: This
recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom
of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers
with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering
ingredients and choosing a temperature.
