Crocked Dessert for Crockers Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

Remember when you all helped be choose dinner by picking recipe card numbers for me?  I was cleaning the pantry this afternoon when I found the LAST dessert card shoved into a cookbook. Since we had all of the ingredients AND I wasn't sure my other half would be eating dinner, I decided it was time to use the card. (And who doesn't like a chocolately crocked dessert?)

"Hot Fudge Cake" (6 quart pot)

~1 3/4 c packed light brown sugar, divided* (I accidentally used white sugar.)
~2 c flour
~1/4 c plus 3 T unsweetened cocoa powder
~2 t baking powder
~1 t salt
~1 c milk
~1/4 c butter*, melted (I accidentally used an entire stick.)
~1 t vanilla
~3 1/2 c boiling water

Coat crock pot with pam.
Mix 1 c sugar, flour, 3 T cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.
Stir in milk, butter, and vanilla.
Mix until well blended.
Pour mixture into crock pot.
Blend remaining 3/4 c sugar and 1/4 c cocoa powder in small bowl.
Sprinkle evenly over mixture in crock pot.
Pour in boiling water. DO NOT STIR.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 hours or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean*. (This never happened. I turned it off so I didn't burn the house down.)
Allow cake to rest for 10 minutes.
Invert onto serving platter or scoop into serving dishes*. (I missed the scoop option which is not a good thing to do when your cake is mostly liquid. There was chocolate sauce EVERYWHERE!)
Serve warm.

6 servings.

Wow. It's really amazing how much I screwed this up. Maybe I was trying to make up for not screwing up all that much recently?

It was still edible! I might have to try this one again. But, you know, following the directions and such. I need a do-over. A delicious chocolately do-over.
