Slow Cooker Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

When I first found this recipe, I wasn't convinced it would really turn out.  I had never "baked" a cake in my slow cooker but it was really tasty.  The cake part just magically rises to the top and then there is a layer of chocolaty goodness on the bottom.  Mmmm!

Slow Cooker Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking power
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 T oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 T cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water

Spray inside of a 4 quart slow cooker with non stick spray.  In a bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt.  Melt peanut butter for 30 seconds in microwave then add to your flour mixture along with milk, oil and vanilla.  Spread on bottom of your slow cooker.  In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, boiling water and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.  Stir well then pour over the cake batter.  Do not mix together!  Cook on high for 2-4 hours until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.  There will be a layer of fudge underneath so just stick the toothpick in a little bit.  Turn off and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.  For extra calories, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  You can always diet tomorrow to make up for it!  LOL
