Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes for my mom yesterday! She loved reading them and so did I. You all are the absolute best group of folks on the entire internet!
This recipe works like magic. You combine a few pantry staples, put it in the slow cooker and a few hours later…ta da!
You end up with chocolate cake with fudgy sauce!
I’ve seen this recipe on several blogs lately. Traditionally, it’s baked in the oven, but I really wanted to know if it would work in the slow cooker. It does!
Let me show you what you’ll need:
I used this recipe from Tasty Kitchen. The only change I made was to bake it in a slow cooker. I also re-ordered the ingredient list, to make it easier to follow.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbs. cocoa
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 Tbs. cocoa
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Spray the inside of the slow cooker crock with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, 3 Tbs. cocoa and 3/4 cup white sugar.
- Stir milk, melted butter and vanilla into the flour mixture until smooth. Pour into the greased crock.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle over the top of the batter in the crock.
- Pour hot water over the top of ingredients in the slow cooker. Do not stir!
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Remove the lid and let stand for several minutes before serving. At first, it will be a bit too liquidy, but should thicken up after several minutes.
Have you ever eaten chocolate cobbler?

This looks like a great treat! I haven’t tried making this fudge-cobbler, but I’m tucking this recipe away for the right time.
looks yummy, gonna try this today!
This recipe contains three of my most favorite words: chocolate, cobbler, and slow cooker. (Okay, I know slow cooker is two, but it’s a compound noun, so it counts as one.) Cannot wait to try this1
We LOVE this dessert! I never would have thought to adapt it to the slow cooker, though. Thank you for do that for me!
This looks so good. I love that you don’t have to use another baking dish inside the slow cooker. (One of my pet peeves about most slow cooker dessert recipes.
I know … I’m overly particular about it.) Can’t wait to try this. My kids will love it! Thanks for sharing.
This is almost identical to a recipe I found on Family Fun’s website last year. It’s SO delicious!!! Here’s the link, in case you’d like to check it out.

It is similar. They even use the slow cooker. I like how they use chocolate chips too.
I’m having a bad day, so I threw this in the CP this afternoon. Hopefully my evening will be better after eating it.
This looks devine! I have got to make this! How many people does this serve? What’s the best way to store leftovers for this cobbler?
It serves 5-6 people. We didn’t have any leftovers, but I would think you could put it in an airtight container. Warm in the microwave before eating.
After I store it, would it sit on the counter or in the fridge?
I think if you’re going to eat it the next day it would be okay on the counter. To be safe, you could choose the fridge.
Do you think this would work if I doubled it? I’d love to make it the next time I have to bring snack for our bible study group. We usually have 8 people.
I think it would work. If you try it, let me know!
I make this A LOT and I. Love. It!! But we call it choclate pudding cake at my house and it makes a lot of cake! This is one of my favorite things!
I have a pudding cake recipe that uses marshmallows and is a lot like this one. They are both good!
I love this in the oven – have made it for years.
Wondering how it would turn out if it was doubled and made in a 6 qt. cooker. We don’t have anything smaller for our crew.
- Or tripled. Or quadrupled? We cook for 30-40 pretty often…
Does it need to cook for 3 hours or 4 hours on low? How long does it need to stand uncover before you serve? 30 Mins?
3 hours should probably do it, but it can go for longer if needed. 5 or 10 minutes of standing before serving should be enough.
how big of a crockpot should this be made in? I have all sizes, so I’d like to know – thanks!
I made it in a 6 qt but it would also work in a 4 or 5 qt.
We tried this tonight and it was great!!! It reminds me more of a Lava cake in a crock pot!
Hi Tiffany can you clarify the amount of white sugar for me please? In the ingredients list you call for 1/2 cup then for the second step you say to mix 3/4 cup and in a later step you say to use the remaining white sugar. Thanks
Royce, you use 3/4 cup and 1/2 cup of white sugar. Both are listed in the ingredients. I’ve edited the instructions to make it more clear. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the quick reply, guess I was having a brainfart and missed the 2nd listing in the ingredients.
Mase this tonight tasted pretty good very rich !! Not sure it it was supposed to be like this but the sauce in the bottom was very runny so it might have needed to cook a little longer I think ! But all n all pretty good recipe !!!
Want to double…has anyone tried this and if so do you cook it longer???
I haven’t tried doubling it, but I’ve thought about it. I’m guessing it won’t need much more cooking time.
Looks and sounds delicious.
Just curious what size slow cooker you would use for this.
Thank you
Patti, a 4 quart would work great. You can use larger, but it will cook faster then.
